Have you ever tried to delete a file or folder, only to get a Windows error message saying no can do? Maybe you're having a bad hair day, but more likely the file is being used by a program. Try downloading ForceDel, a utility that works with all Windows versions to force delete the stubborn file. The program runs from a DOS command window (click Start, Run, and type "cmd"). Enter forcedel filename to give the file the boot for good. (Please Learn DOS if u dont understand) Whats great about this software is that it will find the process that is sticking to the file that causing it to be "In Use". Mostly they will say that explorer.exe is using it. Its funny what explorer does to the file (prolly checking its CRC or something in a constant loop) but as long as it works, i dont give a freakin damn what process is using it. Goodbye stubborn files ^_^

Unfortunately this does not delete stubborn folders. Anyone found an app that does so without restarting the computer id really appriciate it.
