Delete Locked files in Windows XP - Cannot delete file: Access is denied
Ever had such an annoying message given by Windows?
Ever tried to move copy or delete something in xp where you get a warning
that it is in use by os or another program.... but it isn't... damn annoying...
It has many other flavors:
Try unlocker, it puts a shell extension on right click that will unlock pretty much almost any file so that you can delete it.
# Unlocker is the solution!
1. Simply right click the folder or file and select Unlocker
2. If the folder or file is locked, a window listing of lockers will appear
3. Simply click Unlock All and you are done!
