How to solve ” Program cannot be deleted because is already being used by another program ” error.

When you try to delete a folder or file you get the error ” File/Folder cannot be deleted because it’s already being used by another program ” . This happens because a process is still using the target file/folder.

To solve this error follow these steps:

1. Download Unlocker 1.8.5 .
2. Install the program.
3. Right click on the folder/file or file you want to delete and click ” Unlocker ” .
4. Now simply delete the folder/file (repeat the step for every folder/file that give you this error)

Note: Normaly you can kill the process that uses your file/folder, but sometimes thats not enough.
