Why am I forever getting the following error message just for trying to
delete files and folders:
Error Deleting File or Folder
Cannot delete (whatever): It is being used by another person or program.
Close any programs that might be using the file and try again.
This is driving me crazy. This pops up often when I enter Explorer just to
delete stuff. No program is open, much less is there someone else working at
my computer, as I think I'd know if there were. This is the most annoying
error message of all. I always have to log-off, shut-down, restart in Safe
Mode just to delete stuff. Which wastes a lot of time.
Can anyone tell me how to get files and folders released so as to delete
them when I want to? Without having to enter Safe Mode every time?
I’m logged into XP Pro as admin, so that’s not the problem. True this
happens mostly with Photoshop stuff, but has happened with other file types
as well.
