I was struggling with a virus that none of antivirus could just delete, this felt so satisfactory, to remove that malware myself felt amazing, thank you so much

[wariatoshy]

"The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process"
I've checked task manager nothing is open. The file it is saying is running is not visible to me.

Wow! incredibly easy! Had an EXE file that wouldn't boot nor be able to get deleted, so I did the /S function for delete on CMD and it just worked. Nice. Appreciate it :)

I've had a stuborn 20GB video file that has no length that won't delete and Command didn't help. I've just used the EMCO UnLockIT programme Britec mentioned. It really does work for those pesky files/folders that refuse to budge to the Recycle Bin.

Thank you so much! I had a kali-linux iso that I couldn't get to delete from my desktop, triggering my antivirus nonstop! This is the only thing that worked to get rid of it and get my system to stop screaming at me!

[XGamerXavier]

I was unsuccessful with running the command but I tried out the "EMCO UnLock IT" software and it was pretty much just a two step process after downloading it. Thank you for showing more than 1 way to solve my issue. Great video!

Can you help? I often have to scan through hundreds of files, deleting as I go. Every single time I get the confirmation 'Are you Sure You want to Delete this file'. Is there any way to switch this off because it really slows the process down? I have scoured YouTube and Google but can't find any help. Thanks

i went and installed EMCO unlock it, it looks great. i remember when all loaders were like this. now everything tries to sell something or invade privacy. thumbs up to the ol days ;)

I'm trying to delete something that wont delete for some reason and i follow all the steps and type the file pathway, but it says
"Could Not Find
Could Not Find C:\WINDOWS\system32\2.0"
as if the one file name is 2 separate files

I can't rename the file I'm trying to delete, it wont let me. Am I missing something? I'm not really tech savvy.

Thank you so much for recommending EMCO unlock it, you're a lifesaver!
