Delete File

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Hi & TIA! I have a process that uploads an excel file to a folder in my site. The file is read and added to a table in my sql server database which uses this imported list to do a search against one of my tables. The problem I'm having is once the file is uploaded it gets locked by what appears to be the aspnet_wp. This causes a problem when the user decides to alter the excel file to change the list being imported and keeps the same file name. When this happens the existing file cannot be deleted/removed because it is locked. I've used everything programmatically to release all references to the file object. Even if I shut the browser down I cannot manually delete the file for some time until the aspnet_wp lets it go. I know of some tools that can be used to unlock the file, but I need to do it via code. Is this possible and if so where can I find info? Thanks for your time.
