Cannot delete file; it is being used by another person or program

Asked by mpaolella in MS Forefront

Tags: Cannot delete file; it is being used by another person or program

I have a user who is unable to delete or save a file to a network share.
I have verified that it is not in use, and I too am unable to delete this file from the server as administrator.

Error message: Cannot delete "file.txt"; It is being used by another person or program. Close any progras that might be using the file and try again.

thanks for any help you can give me.Start Free Trial
