There are times when you wanted to delete a file or folder and you are greeted with these messages:
Access denied.
The file is in use by another program or user.
The source or destination file may be in use.
Cannot delete file: It is being used by another person or program.
Cannot delete Folder: It is being used by another person or program.
The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.
There has been a sharing violation.
Close any programs that might be using the file and try again.
Make sure the disk is not full or write-protected and that the file is not currently in use.
Frustrating? Yes. Usually restarting Windows will do the trick, but on a very minute possibility this trick might not work, thus removing these locked files and folders requires a third party software – File & Folder Unlocker (Freeware).
File & Folder Unlocker is a powerful yet easy-to-use system utility that gives you complete control over the locked files and folders on your computer.
You ought to be aware that restarting Windows will do the trick, if it fails to do so, then it could probably be a virus. Not necessary a virus, a trojan perhaps. Malware like these tend to prevent the user from deleting it, perform a full antivirus scan.
