Unlock, Delete And Rename Files When There In Use

Published by techspotlight under Software Edit This

Every Windows user has come across files or folders that they wanted to either delete, move or rename, but Windows won’t let them, and up pops a dialog warning box like one pictured in the screenshot.  This can be really frustrating and annoying, and usually the only way to correct this is to reboot.  This is where a free application called Unlocker can help you easily.

With the Unlocker software you simply right click on the pesky file or folder that does not want to be changed and click Unlocker in the context menu.  This small software download saves time and aggravation.  Everyone should have this tool to give you piece of mind when that dreaded Windows message appears.  Now you know it can be as simple as a few clicks to reclaim the file.  For more information or to download this free utility click here.
