[Benjamin123]

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

Download one that goes with your Bit version below

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 :ar: [URL="http://download.bleepingcomputer.com/farbar/FRST64.exe]Farbar Recovery Scan Tool x64 [/URL]

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

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

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

I will try one of your following steps tomorrow.

stopping and restarting explorer. exe from the task manager may help also.

@booh, I have tried that many times yesterday - but it didn't work!

 

[Benjamin123]

@whs, your solution works. Thanks!

You are welcome.

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

If you knew what program was doing it you could close it in task manager, reboot only takes seconds anyway but yeah it is a pain.
