How to delete undeletable files

How many times have we been annoyed by that messages? Oh yeah, there are many alternatives of above such as :

• Cannot delete file: Access is denied
• There has been a sharing violation.
• The source or destination file may be in use.
• The file is in use by another program or user.
• Make sure the disk is not full or write-protected and that the file is not currently in use.

I’ve got two ways to solve this problem.

First way : If you’re not tech buddy, you should go to second way.

• Go to Start menu –>> Run –>> type cmd and press enter (this will open command prompt)
• After that press Ctrl+Alt+Del to bring up task manager
• Go to Process tab, find explorer.exe, then click End Process.
• Your Taskbar will disappear.

• Go back to the Command prompt you just left opened.
• Browse folder or file you want to delete.
• Delete file with del command and remove directory with rmdir command.
• After that, in the task manager, choose File –>> New Task (Run..)
• Then type explorer.exe.
• Your taskbar will appear again.

Second way : I recommend this. This is really easy. Just download and install Unlocker, which is very useful freeware especially for this purpose. After you installed the program, all you have to do is simply right click the folder or file and select Unlocker. You can do Delete, Rename, Move at your finger tips.

Frankly speaking, I really recommend you guys to follow Second way. I intend first method for those of you who just want to know workaround or who don’t wanna install any extra programs.
