Error "shared by another user or program"
I downloaded *.avi file on to my D:\ drive. But when I try to delete it I'd
get an error "cannot delete...it's being used by another person or program. Close any program that might be using the file & try again". I went to the Safe mode also trying to delete but the same result. How I can delete it? |
