Cannot delete folder: It is being used by another person or program.
the other day i decided to search the internet for comments or a solution to this problem and ran across the website of
CEDRICK 'NITCH' COLLOMB
who wrote a nice little program named Unlocker.
i installed it with the default settings given.
when i now come across a folder that cannot be deleted, after a moment this little tool opens a separate window asking what i would like to do: kill the process, or just release the folder, after which i can try to delete the folder again. so far it has always worked and it's very nice to have.
of course the software supports not only folders, but files as well. i usually had the problem when i moved a complete folder to another drive, and once the folder was empty it could not necessarily be deleted.
i hope that others my find this useful, too.
enjoy!
