Windows is continuously being improved and updated, therefore it make sense to stumble across errors once in a while. However, there is one tool that can be used to prevent a certain type of errors from occuring: Unlocker is the solution to messages like Cannot delete folder: it's being used by another person or program or Make sure the disk is not full or write-protected and that the file is not currently in use.
Unlocker is a very light software solution that helps rename, move or delete locked files with a single click and through a very simple yet efficient interface.
When it comes to interface, Unlocker's is quite basic, but this is all one needs when trying to perform such an operation. The app also comes with an Assistant that sits quietly in the System Tray and opens the main window when one double-clicks its icon.
Basically, the software adds an entry within the context menu of Windows Explorer, and it can be launched whenever a file triggers the aforementioned error messages, and the app unlocks all the processes that are accessing it. If this is not possible, it performs the requested task after computer reboot.
Unlocker is currently supported by the latest Windows editions, including the 64bit ones, provided the dedicated installers are used, thus ensuring seamless integration with the operating system.
The conclusion is as simple as it gets: Unlocker is a must-have tool on all Windows workstations. Millions of Windows users are stuck with locked files every day, so Unlocker should be given at least a try. It is free and the performance of the host computer is not affected by running this software, quite on the contrary.
Nice post.Another software alternative that works is "LongPathTool" for error messages: Cannot read from source file or disk, there has been a sharing violation, cannot delete file or folder, the file name you specified is not valid or too long, the source or destination file may be in use and many other file managing errors.
