Answer» How to 'release', or 'unlock' FOLDERS and FILES?
Just recently, about 60% of the time, I am unable to move and/or rename folders, I'm getting the following error msg:'The action can't be completed because the folder or a file in it is open in another program. Close the folder or file and try again'.
1) I've closed/open Windows Explorer...same error.
2) I've closed all open programs, EXCEPT for Windows Explorer...same error.
3) I've rebooted...same error.
I haven't installed any new programs. I've checked my running programs in Task Manager, and found nothing that WOULD indicate that my folders or files are open in another program.
Is there a way of finding out if there are any program(s) being used on certain folders/files?
And, how to 'release', or 'unlock those folders and files?
Win7, 64bit.
Thanks!LockHunter is a program that can show you what programs have the file open which are preventing it from being moved or deleted.
