unlocker.gifHave you ever been in a situation where you simply cannot delete a file from your computer? If so, you’re probably familiar with error messages like Cannot delete file: Access is denied or The source or destination file may be in use.

Sometimes this is for good reason. Windows is constantly running various processes in the background and may need the file to operate properly. Killing such processes could make your system unstable or even crash it. However, if you’re sure the file is not essential and its just being stubborn, Unlocker might be able to help you out. Unlocker adds an option to the drop-down menu when you right-click your mouse on a file. By selecting Unlocker, the program automatically overides locked file messages and allows you to get rid of all but the most stubborn files on your computer.
