Cannot delete file: Access is denied

Sounds familiar? Tried editing/deleting a file which is currently being used by an application or process but it has crashed?


Fear no more, there's a neat tool call the Unlocker which you can get it free from http://ccollomb.free.fr/unlocker/ . This tool have saved me a lot of restarts and reboots :).

To use it, just right-click->Unlocker to unlock the file, and it will even tell you which process is actually locking the file. Neat, huh?
