Folder in use when deleting.
Hi guys
Thought I would post this in case it was of use to someone experiencing this, I haven't seen this as a solution anywhere else.
I regularly get a folder reported as locked by another process when I am trying to delete it, especially on network shares, even though I know that there is nothing that should be holding it.
The file in use is usually thumbs.db, if it happens, try switching your explorer window to tile mode, I find this releases the lock and allows the delete, I have no idea why it works but it does.
Regards
