delete files that are locked Unlocker enables you to delete, move or rename files or folders that are locked by other processes (Access is denied, Sharing Violation etc.). The program integrates into the Windows right-click menu, and opens a dialog that shows you the processes that are currently locking the file, thereby preventing it from being deleted. You can choose to terminate and unlock the processes, or otherwise delete or move the file on the next reboot. (Portable version)

Lost without it 5 stars by CenteredHeart
I would be lost without it. Removes stubborn files quickly and efficiently. Has remove on boot for those files locked in by running programs. showShow review details
Good program, but be careful! 3 stars by acacius
I've used Unlocker for quite a while but now realize it can be quite dangerous if used routinely without being very careful. Unlocker will move and delete locked files / folders most of the time when you select the problem items, choose 'move' or 'delete' and press 'unlock all.' However, it is all too easy to mistakenly delete files into unrecoverable oblivion. Unlike the 'move' option, which simply moves the locked file where you want it to go, the 'delete' option does not move the files you want to delete to the recycle bin. Instead, they're deleted permanently with no warning at all. Probably I mistakenly clicked on a folder rather than the empty locked sub-folder I wanted to delete, but I ended up sending all the files in the folder into the ether - something I did not intend. No notice that I was about to delete 40 files - they were just gone forever. BE FOREWARNED! showShow review details
A valuable tool 5 stars by Henry8 (Read all my 35 reviews)
This program is like having a spare key hidden somewhere, for the inevitable day you forget your prime key on the wrong side of the door. My use for this helper has been, when I can't install a new version of some software, because there's an old file in the way - and it can't be deleted. Unlocker has always helped me out. Big deeds are sometimes done by small programs. showShow review details
