Do you have a locked Folder which you would like to delete? Unblocker will do it. When performing a scan to delete files do you get a dialog that it can't do it? Unblocker does it every time. No I do not have any connection with Unblocker or the folks that it belongs too. I am just a very satisfied User of this Free Application. A big Thank You for Unblocker.

I say safest because you are trusting a total stranger by using sofware you've never heard of. That being said, I tried Unlocker and it didn't work, forcing me to find out how to do it another way. Step 1: Turn off Simple File Sharing Open "My Computer" Tools -> Folder Options... Goto "View" tab Goto the last checkbox in the "Advanced settings" Uncheck "Use simple file sharing (Recommended)" Step 2: Find the file you can't delete in Windows Explorer Right-click on that file or folder Select "Properties" Goto the "Security" tab Click the "Advanced" button at the bottom of the window Select the "Owner" tab Change the "Current owner of this item: " to your username and select the checkbox "Replace owner on subcontainers and object" Step 3: "OK" out of the properties and you should now be able to delete the file!
