Glad to hear your long nightmare is over, Aries.
Now that you fixed it, any idea what was going on and what was wrong?

Don't know, Creative! The closest analogy I can think of is "you buy a chocolate bar...you eat the bar and the wrapper gets stuck in your throat". When I downloaded the original file it was a 20mb or 30mb MPeg. What was left was a file with exactly the same name but zero bytes.
But the program http://ccollomb.free.fr/unlocker/ worked easily and quickly. The only thing that puzzles me is that the file did not end up in my recycle bin. Perhaps because it was 0 bytes?

I think that unlocker realy delete and overwrite a file.
Windows only delete the index of the file, but it is still there. The recycle bin shows it, as long as windows delete the recycle index. After that the file can be overwritten.
