If you restart the Exchange services or even the server, that will release the locks on the files. You should then be able to delete the files completely. <br />
<br />
If there are still locks on the files then you will be unable to delete them. <br />

I have had an issue where in I have moved my exchange using the SBS wizard for such things to a new volume. This completed ok but it has left behind .wid, .dir, .ci and index files but only for the period during and shortly after the move. Now I want to delete this partition (it was on its own partition on the drive) and do not want to cause problems with the exchange<br />

Thanksl

Small Business Server (SBS) is a line of server operating systems targeted at small businesses by bundling the operating system with a number of other Microsoft products that would normally need to be purchased or licensed separately. The most notable inclusions are Exchange, SQL Server, SharePoint and ISA/TMG (Microsoft's firewall and proxy server).

Exchange is the server side of a collaborative application product that is part of the Microsoft Server infrastructure. Exchange's major features include email, calendaring, contacts and tasks, support for mobile and web-based access to information, and support for data storage.
