It would be interesting to know what file you want to delete. – arochester Jun 22 '12 at 19:01
well, deleting was just an option, I needed to change /etc/default(irqbalance file, I needed to disable irqbalance because it made my keyboard and mouse to stop working – Alen Jun 22 '12 at 19:11

it's ok, I fixed it. I needed to reboot and it worked – Alen Jun 22 '12 at 19:09

I presume you are unable to access your Ubuntu system and are in need to delete some files to fix the issue?

An approach would be to access the Ubuntu partition from your system.here are some tools.

If you installed Ubuntu using Wubi,you would easily locate the Ubuntu folder at your windows machine and delete them from there.
