File open in another program prob

[Harrzack]

Periodically I'm getting files 'stuck' and when I go to delete them I get the "File Open In System" thing. I've checked all the usual places - NOTHING will delete these files. I think they are all .bin or .iso's that have been opened with UltraISO. I haven't found anything in UltraISO to force close them.

Are there any file system repair utilities that might unlock these files? :sarc:

I'm not familiar with UltraISO.

To delete stuck files, try file unlocker:

Unlocker - Free software downloads and software reviews - CNET Download.com

If your image burner is a problem, you might want to try ImgBurn:

The Official ImgBurn Website

You can also try to delete them in safe mode. That would release the handles.

Check your Task Manager to see if they're showing up as still running. And of course, close them if they are. Also, try re-booting your system. That sometimes will do the trick.

Or you can schedule them to be deleted on next reboot.
Download Analyze Reboot Delete 1.2 Free - Delete files at the next reboot with this utility. - Softpedia
MoveOnBoot Free - Rename, Move, Delete Locked Files and Locked Folders on Restart
There're many other tools though like HijackThis.

Now I have NOT tried Analyze -Delete Reboot - will def give that a go - Thanks!
