Unlocker-Release In-use Files

Posted by Saad Ibrahim 1 June, 2008

error

I used to get this annoying error when I used to delete or modify some files stating that “Cannot delete filename.xxx :It is being used by another person or program”, some times I would easily find the program that is using this file and close it but sometimes I couldn’t figure out what is using that specific file so i has to restart my system to modify that file until I found Unlocker.

Once you install it, it places itself in the right click explorer menu and when you encounter that error all you have to do is right click the problematic file press “Unlocker” and click on the “Unlock all” button in the dialog box that appears.

Additionally you will see the list of processes that have occupied your file and you can tell Unlocker to delete, rename or move the file and it will do it for you

Unlocker is a free software and its a must have for every PC

Note: Unlocker doesn’t deletes the file immediately instead it will schedule itself to to delete that file on the next restart
