Removing unremovable files from your computer.

[blinky88]

I have read many posts of people not being able to remove some files from their desktop, here is the solution.

There is a FREEWARE APPLICATION called Unlocker v1.7.5

Unlocker is an Windows Explorer extension allowing you with a simple right-click on a file or folder to get rid of error message such as error deleting file or folder, cannot delete folder: it's being used by another person or program.

Helps delete locked files with error messages like:

- 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.

Here is the link.
