Unlocker enables you to delete, move or rename files or folders that are locked by other processed (Access is denied, Sharing Violation etc.).

You can choose to terminate and unlock the processes, or otherwise delete the file on the next reboot.

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.

Unlocker is completely free and will always remain free, which means you can use it free of charge for any purposes.

This program also allows terminating a currently running process. In some cases, files cannot be accessed due to Windows file-access bugs, for which Windows informs the user the file is currently in use–even when it’s not.

Unlocker can effectively bypass this bug’s restrictions; it unlocks or disables whatever is preventing the user to access that file.

This tool would be a lot easier to use if it allowed hot keys. Novices to advanced users will find this free application very useful.

Ever had such an annoying message given by Windows?

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 click Unlock All and you are done!

Note: Some antivirus and antispyware programs flag Unlocker as being infected/malware, although the application is perfectly safe and does not pose a threat to your system. This is called a ‘false positive’. The term false positive is used when antivirus software wrongly classifies an innocuous ( inoffensive ) file as a virus.
