Unlocker 1.8.7

Posted by charan reddy





Ever had such an annoying message given by Windows: Cannot delete file: Access is denied. There has been a sharing violation. The source or destination file may be in use or 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. Unlocker is the solution. Unlocker is an Explorer extension that allows you with a simple right-click of the mouse on a file or folder to get rid of error message such as error deleting file or folder, cannot delete folder: it is used by another person or program.


It has many other flavors:
• 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.

Unlocker is the solution!
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 select the lockers and click Unlock and you are done!
Similar programs and why Unlocker is better

Of course I only compare here the unlocking features. Process Explorer and Take Control are very good programs featuring much more things than just unlocking folders. The goal of this list is not at all to pretend Unlocker is better but instead to provide a list of all other alternative programs in case you have some difficulties with Unlocker.
