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". Anytime something like this was happened, I did a logoff and logon to eliminate the problem. But there were situations like virus infection, that this method didn't work. Because virus was loaded on logon and prevented the file from deletion or the device from being removed.
Here is a method that will work definitely! Use one of these freeware programs:

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!
Nice share. You can also try this "LongPathTool" tried and tested.Guaranteed fix. Here you can rename, delete, open and move your files instantly
ReplyDeletewithout the worries of error messages saying that there is some sort of a problem.
Thanks for sharing. The tool seems to be way more capable than the other ones, but it is not freeware. So it's off the hook for me, since my country is under heavy U.S. sanctions. Thanks anyway, no hurt in knowing more!
