Deleting locked file

I think I saw it around here, but can't find it...is there a good and reliable app to unlock files, so I can delete or move them when I get an error?

 

You could try fileassassin:

FileASSASSIN is an application that can delete any type of locked files that are on your computer. Whether the files are from a malware infection or just a particular file that will not delete - FileASSASSIN can remove it. The program uses advanced programming techniques to unload modules, close remote handles, and terminate processes to remove the particular locked file. Please use with caution as deleting critical system files may cause system errors.

thanks

I was looking for fileassassin, but couldn't remember the name

 

Nothing, haven't tried it yet. I just knew I saw it here somewhere, but couldn't remember the name. I downloaded both. Haven't tried either of them, but so far I like the fact that FA doesn't require to install...

 

Hi
The simplicity of unlocker is that it runs from your context menu so you just have to right click a file and process it.

 

I like to use file and folder unlock by DCS.

As they stated in the about-menu: "freeware, please share", i uploaded it here for those, who are interested: http://rapidshare.com/files/97607631/ffunlock.zip.html
