3. Google a bit….

Use Unlocker as Gjoksi said.
Alternative would be LockHunter.

If none of those methods work, just boot from a live cd, and you can delete anything you want.
I hate downloading other programs for simple task as just deleting ~censored~ windows files. I went on safe mode and killed it. thanx guys

Unlocker/LockHunter are good apps to have installed. takes about 15 seconds to download and install, and worth a lot more…

Yes you were…
And why don’t you want some “extra” program to download? It’s not like it has 1GB to download…
Anyway… Tag [SOLVED] in title would be good!
Cheers!
Unlocker does many things, like it can move files that are being used by another process. As wo_Ot? said, it is a tiny app anyway. You don’t need to use the “assistant” just disable that on start up from the notification area.

just go on safe mode and you can delete pretty much anything with no problems.
