Often when we try to delete a file or folder in Windows, we see annoying messages such as "Cannot delete file: Access is denied;" "Cannot delete folder: It is being used by another person or program" "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;" or "Cannot read from the source file or disk." This is usually because the file or folder is in use by another program or user. IObit Unlocker is an ideal tool for such situations. It releases the file or folder that's in use by other programs and allows you to quickly remove or modify it.
I was on the mission to find best Unlocker software from many days. Because no software is able to delete some files and folders on my computer. Recently IObit has released an UNLOCKER software called IObit Unlocker which seems to do the same thing as The Unlocker, but it is definitely smarter and coded to work with the latest Windows 7. Most of the time there are two ways to use these file unlocking software. You can either right click on the locked file and select the software from the context menu, or drag and drop the locked files to the software. The IObit Unlocker is way better than Unlocker or FileAssasin or even codesector's software. It seems to really nice software.
IObit Unlocker is free and works on Windows 2000, XP, Vista, 7 on both 32bit and 64bit. It can also unlock drive letters, useful for USB flash drive.
