Cannot delete file : Access is denied....here is the solution


You may have gone through one of the annoying error messages  while deleting a file:
Cannot delete file: Access is denied
There has been a sharing violation.
The source or destination file may be in use.
The file is in use by another program or user.
Make sure the disk is not full or write-protected and that the file is not currently in use.
The solution for this is : Unlocker
Steps to use Unlocker :
1.  Simply right click the folder or file and select Unlocker

2.  If the folder or file is locked, a window listing of lockers will appear

3. Simply click Unlock All and you are done!

This is a really cool tool to unlock on the locked files.
