I am able to play files with extension mkv using vlc player. But unable to rename or delete only files with extension mkv. Please help.

Hello and welcome to Windows 7 Forums

You should try "taking ownership" of the files. You can do this via Command prompt, check out the first post here:

This sounds like a permissions problem.

I've found this to be handy in Windows 7.

Take Ownership App.
