Unlocker

Have you ever tried to delete or rename a file or folder and got one of the following messages?

1. Cannot delete/ rename file: Access is denied.

2. There has been a sharing violation.

3. The source or destination file may be in use.

4. The file is in use by another program or user.

5. Make sure the disk is not full or write-protected.

If you are sure that no program running at that moment is using that file, you can try "Unlocker" next time you get such a message. After installation, Unlocker is added to context menu. Just right-click on the file or folder which you want to delete or rename and select Unlocker. If the file or folder is locked then a window will appear with a list of processes locking the file or folder. Click on "Unlock" and then you can delete or rename that file or folder. Alternatively, you can start Unlocker from the "Start Menu" or a desktop shortcut and choose the target file or folder.
