Re: Cannot delete File




I fixed it by turning off everything that could possibly have one of
those files open,
in my case turning off Google Desktop fixed it. (right click on
sys-tray icon, then click Exit in the context menu)

Other possible apps that could have it open:
- virus scanner (or basically any scanner)
- windows indexing service (which I turn completely off to increase
system speed)
- explorer windows
- any app that you have with that file open, it could have locked the
file

Hope that helps

cheers,
Chris
