Need help removing a file from windows 7, safe mode still no luck
Ok for starters I went through the suggestions listed on thread:
cannot delete folder (even safe mode)
I am having a similar issue, however my file I cannot get rid of is simply a single file inside a single folder. The issue I keep getting is the lovely message "This process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process." I have tried restarting, restarting in safe mode, renaming, moving, being in safe mode in Command prompt, etc etc. Even tried Malwarbytes fileASSASSIN program on restart.
My last try was to start in safe mode, type cmd in the search at start menu and hit ctrl + shift + enter. The only processes I had running for the try where csrss.exe, winlogon.exe, cmd.exe, conhost.exe, explorer.exe, taskmgr.exe. I stopped explorer.exe leaving just cmd prompt up in admin and then closed task manager aswell.
Typed-> RD /S /Q "C:\Users\rest of file info"
ENTER
The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.
Help me kill this file that just wont seem to die.
