Unlocker
Have you ever encounter this error msg b4 when you try to delete a folder or mayb a file ?
The file or folder are locked due to some applications or programs that are accessing it. This is stopping you from deleting it. The workaround is to terminate the specific programs or applications. This is similar to the case whereby you are unable to remove the external USB flash memory.
The thing which I hate the most is that you knew the folder is locked but you just couldn't tell which applications is locking it. Here comes the worst case, it is locked by some programs / applications running at the background which you don't even notice unless you bring up the task manager. And even if you do so, you will most probably just seeing bunch of processes / applications. So how do you know which program to kill? It finally ends up in restarting your PC (>_<).
Here comes a nice tool which can solve the problem. The name is "Unlocker". The "Unlocker" can log the list of program accessing the specific folder, and you are given the options whether to kill the process or to unlock it. Once the file is unlocked, you can proceed to delete the folder. It is very user friendly.
The Unlocker is a freeware, you can find more information and download the tool from here.
