Every got the error "Cannot delete file: Access is denied"?

If you have ever come across the following errors:

-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.

Unlocker is the solution!

Cool, must-have utility

And if unlocker doesn’t work, use Deletefxpfiles
– it helped me when unlocker didn’t work (thanks to asif2000)

If you disable "CACHE THUMBNAILS" in Windows Explorer > Tools > Options

you will not get "file in use" too often :)

Unlocker is good for files Explorer can see.. what about the rest? most of the visible files can be deleted simply by ending explorer process or from safe mode..

Re: Every got the error "Cannot delete file: Access is denied"?

another way to is to end the process "explorer.exe" from Windows Task Manager first.
- Then go back to Task Manager and from File menu, Run: "New (Task rn...)"
- browse for the file and hit delete.

Works most of the time.
