XP Professional, SP2. 500gb SATA drive, using 74gig.

This is a left-over file that was not removed by the program's
uninstall routine.

Trying to delete it results in the "locked or in use" error.

File Assassin's "unlock" routine reports that the file is not locked.
However File's Assassin's "delete file" command results in "unable to
delete."

"Unlocker" reports it can not delete the file.

Two different "delete on reboot" utilities have not removed it.

Searching with Process Explorer for the process does not find it
running.

Searching for it as a startup item with Autoruns does not find it.

Chkdsk reports no errors on the drive.

So how do I remove this file?


Please be MORE specific such as the fully qualified name and path to the
file in question.

c:\Program FIles\cleanmem\mini_monitor.exe

In the mean time... Use Sysintgern als Process Explorer.

Go to; Find -- File handle or DLL
enter the name of the file in question and see what running process may have
that file's File Handle held open.

Already done. From above:
Searching with Process Explorer for the process does not find it
running.

Thanks for the reply.
