windows - How do I delete a file that is in use by another process?




Possible Duplicate:
How do I delete a 'locked' file?



More specifically, I'm trying to rename or overwrite a file, and get the message



Access Denied. Make sure the disk is not full or write-protected and the file is not currently in use.



Is there a way to find who / what's using the file, and kick them off it?



Answer



LockHunter is a foolproof file unlocker.



It is a tool to delete files blocked by something you do not know. LockHunter is useful for fighting against malware, and other programs that are blocking files without a reason. Unlike other similar tools it deletes files into the recycle bin so you may restore them if deleted by mistake.

Allows to unlock, delete, copy or rename a locked file


Allows to kill locking process


Allows to remove locking processes from hard drive


Integrates in to Explorer menu


It deletes files into the recycle bin, so you may restore them if deleted by mistake
