Delete Locked files in Windows XP - Cannot delete file: Access is denied

Ever had such an annoying message given by Windows?

Ever tried to move copy or delete something in xp where you get a warning
that it is in use by os or another program.... but it isn't... damn annoying...




It has many other flavors:

Quote:
Cannot delete file: Access is denied
There has been a sharing violation.
The source or destination file may be in use.
The file is in use by another program or user.
Make sure the disk is not full or write-protected and that the file is not currently in use.

Try unlocker, it puts a shell extension on right click that will unlock pretty much almost any file so that you can delete it.


# Unlocker is the solution!

1. Simply right click the folder or file and select Unlocker




2. If the folder or file is locked, a window listing of lockers will appear




3. Simply click Unlock All and you are done!



Here's the link
