How To Delete Files Being Used By Another Person Or Program ?

this is quite annoying and it happens quite frequently to me. some times when I want to delete a file or a folder, I get an error saying that the file or folder is being used by another person or program, and cannot be deleted.

But, how can I delete a file or folder locked up by another program like this? the way I used to to do it was to kill the process of the program that was locking the file or folder. now if you don’t know which program is locking the file, then you will need to reboot the computer to unlock the file, and then delete it.

luckily there is a piece of software that makes the thing easier. is called UnlockMe and is pretty simple to use.
