Can’t Delete Files or Folders? Use the UNLOCKER
Today I needed to delete some temp files that I had made some changes to for a user. I received the error "Some files are in use. Cannot delete folder". This has plagued Windows users for as long as I can remember.
A while ago I came across this utility called Unlocker by Cedrick Nitch Collomb. I didn’t have any use for it at the time so I just added it to my Del.icio.us account. Well it found use today, and worked as advertised. It gives the option to actually kill the process, but I just wanted to unlock the file so I clicked "Unlock All" and I was then able to delete the folder.
TIP: After installing, right click the System Tray Icon and uncheck "Autostart". Since the installer adds a right-click context selection you don’t really need the program to autostart.
