    Folder In Use (wont allow me)


    Hello, I'm having a problem where the Folder In Use Error that pops up, but all the other files are closed. I just don't know how to disable the Folder In Use Error that always pops up. It always annoys me, otherwise I might get KL (Keylogged) with viruses.

    Here is the image of an error that I keep getting...



    Thanks!

    Run Farbar Recovery Scan Tool

       Note
    Click the button and right-click Computer .Select Properties .Look for System Type: which will say 32-bit Operating System or 64-bit Operating System


    Download one that goes with your Bit version below

    32-bit Version OS Farbar Recovery Scan Tool

    Drag the FRST.exe from the Downloads folder to your Desktop

    Right click on FRST.exe and choose

    When the tool opens click Yes on the disclaimer window .
    Press Scan button.


    64-Bit Version OS Farbar Recovery Scan Tool x64

    Drag the FRST64.exe from the Downloads folder to your Desktop

    Right click on FRST64.exe and choose

    When the tool opens click Yes on the disclaimer window .
    Press Scan button.

    FRST will let you know when the scan is complete and has written the FRST.txt to file

       Note
    The first time Farbar Recovery Scan Tool is run, it makes also another log Addition.txt


    Please copy and paste both logs in your reply.(FRST.txt and Addition.txt)

    Some program has a handle on your folder. A reboot should fix that.

    It is absolutely ridiculous someone would need to reboot to delete a folder. Windows needs to stop this weird, unhelpful, annoying, buggy permissions issue.
