I posted the answer in the ms-sqlserver group where it belonged - go check.
FYI LDF/MDF's are related to the databases on a SQL Server instance and as
such he obviously has SQL Server running and a database using those files
that is online.

To solve the problem drop the database - there, wasn;t difficult being
polite was it.

A bit far from a reboot / warm start the OS which woudl do absolutely
nothing except ccost the OP's business outage while the box reboots and
things come back online, and he would still have the problem.
