Hi,
For years, I had received annoying messages like "Cannot delete file: Access is denied" or "Make sure the disk is not full or write-protected and that the file is not currently in use".

Here is a method that will work definitely! Use one of these freeware programs:
- Unlocker 1.9.0
More info and download links are available at:
- LockHunter
LockHunter is a bit more user friendly and has similar abilities that Unlocker has.
More info and download link is available at LockHunter official homepage.

Both programs have other feature allowing them to be used to fight against malwares like Autorun virus.
If you look for a software that certainly is designed for removing storages, have a look on USB Safely Remove.
Hope to be useful!
