Unable to view and delete .zip.part file in downloads [OS X 10.5.8]

[Akula]

Hello folks,

I've got an issue where I have a bunch of .zip.part files in my downloads stack, which I cannot remove (I do not know how to remove a file directly from the stack, perhaps there's a way?) because when I open the downloads folder in finder, they aren't there.

Any help?

I had this same problem - I think it comes from ripping things out of there before they are done downloading, but to fix it I did the following:

1. open terminal
2. cd Downloads
3. rm .DS_Store
4. removed the folder from the Dock
5. dragged it back on
6. done. you may be able to skip deleting the .DS_Store, try it an let me know
