    cant delete files


    Hi, my friend recently download some application in my computer.. and now i am currently trying to delete the files away from my computer.. but the computer insisted me to delete as it always said it had been used by other program.. I had tried restarting, but it wont work as well.. Even using CMD.exe didnt work as well.. Is there any way that can get rid of it..?

    Revo is a good program to remove undesired programs. Read the instruction and use it wisely. Why would one let anybody download anything on there computer.

    hello jeff,
    what program that's you mean?? can you mention it?
    basically,if can't delete the file, because of..
    - don't have a permission
    - still have running the program (used program)
    - virus
    - etc
    like your case, you can't delete the file, and the error is because the program is still running,
    going to task manager ( Ctrl+alt+del ) then see the processes one.
    if that's still can't help, maybe the program have running some services on it.
    you must going to administrative tool, services to stop the services first. then try to delete it.

    jeff425, im guessing that unlocker did the trick, it would avoid confusion if you stated that ,
    it would make it clear and help people who are doing a search for solutions to similar issues
