For
files that you want deleted permanently that are giving
you the "cannot delete file... in use by another
program" message, when they are NOT in use by
another program:
Let's
restart the PC and hit F8 to reach the "Advanced
Boot Options" menu.
From
this menu choose "Safe Mode w/ Command Prompt",
let it boot and log in normally to a local administrator
account. Once logged in change directories to the
location of the file in question. Once here let's
use the "del" command to delete the problem
file.
This
method prevents the "explorer" shell from
starting and "holding on" to the file.
