Unlocker – No More "Error Deleting File or Folder" [Windows Downloads]

If you are Windows user then you might have seen something like below in past:

There are other similar error alerts like…

• Cannot delete file: Access is denied
• 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.
• etc…

Most of the times files/folders are locked by some applications you may not know. So even closing application in doubt doesn’t solves problem.

I often get this error so was wondering if there any way to unlock the file/folder I want to move/delete. Thanks to Google, I found this nice application named Unlocker…
