I have a 3rd party software that creating file that is not needed and thisto
file is causing problems. I've asked the vendor and they said all I have
do is delete this file. When ever I try to delete the file, I get theerror
message of "Cannot delete (filename): It's being used by another personor
program. Close all programs...blah blah." It's the standard message. Iso,
have to reboot the server and then I can delete it. The vendor said I can
force delete and then I wouldn't have to reboot the server.
Is there a way to force delete of this file in the command prompt? If
I can then create a simple batch that will run every hour to delete it.
Thanks!
Kill the process that locks the file, then delete the file. You
can use oh.exe (Windows 2000 Resource Kit) to find out
which process locks the file.
