Hello Lucy, I once had your issue: if I remember correctly, the file I was trying to delete was inside a SMB share: all I did to fix that was to delete and re-create the Share. This can go on indefinitely, corrupting huge amounts of data. Though the above described scenario may not be very likely to occur, it is indeed a real possibility. Therefore, the best way to close a handle is either to a make the app that opened it close it or b shut down your PC.
A few days ago my telegram desktop app started facing an issue causing it to not be able to start: the log. My first move was to use the unlocker to rename the file — which only worked by letting it restart the pc and accessing the file before startup, which actually worked..
Since then I tried everything, from the Resource Monitor to the Process Explorer and even using Handle, to figure out wtf is blocking that textfile. But none of these softwares was able to find a handle which is using this file. Following the superuser. As I found no other reasons for Windows to obstruct, I guess just unplugging the drives would also have been safe. Your email address will not be published. Usually the name of the program that keeps the file open is shown right in the File Explorer message window.
To unlock the file, it is enough just to close the program. However, it may occur that a file or a library is used by an unknown or system process.
Then it is harder to unlock it. A file lock message may be different. For example, the following screenshot shows the file type and the app it is associated with :.
However, sometimes you may see a more interesting message that a file is used by an unknown or Windows system process. It may be either a Windows process or other processes working with the System privileges, like an antivirus app, a backup agent, an MSSQL database, etc. The easiest way to unlock the file is to end the process that has locked it.
Just restarting didn't help, as the system process re-locked the folder as soon as the server service restarted. Even copying the file, deleting the original, renaming copy to original name all on server would immediately tell me the user had it locked. Deleted the original file off the server. Changed the filename of the copy on the desktop. Renamed it back to the original name on the desktop. Fortunately we use scheduled shadow copies on this server to enable users to self-serve most file recoveries.
You might need to delete the containing folder to delete the file - which could be a problem if lots of files in use obviously this wasn't an issue for me given this was the only file in the folder.
For a one-off issue like I had single locked file for the whole server drive , this worked without any disruption to the server or users. Stack Overflow for Teams — Collaborate and share knowledge with a private group. Create a free Team What is Teams?

The process cannot be killed by using that command or any other command I tested with , also I tried kill it with the task managet, but the error I get is an "Access denied" [This makes no sense because I am using an admin account, and also the process was under my name].
