Unable to delete/move file/folder: Access is denied:Solution
We get this message when we try to delete or move a file or folder and some application or process or virus is using that file/folder or there is memory leak.
Sometime messages are different.
- Make sure the disk is not full or write-protected and that the file is not currently in use.
- can not delete file, there has been a sharing violation, source or destination may be in use.
unfortunately windows even windows 7 do not have any build in solution for this issue. Microsoft windows do not tell which application is using that particular file. so user is helpless how would he know about the app to close, user either need to restart the system or wait for release which is very painful solution.
But some tools are here for rescue.
Out of these Unlocker is the best tool i ever used. it always give fruitful results.
Second PE by Microsoft(Ms purchased System internals). PE is not just for above mentioned purpose. it has other use too
Unlocker is very easy to use. just right click the file or folder you want to unlock. you will see unlocker in context menu.
