Deleting Locked File
#1
Hi Gintaras,
When trying to read, write to or delete a certain file, I keep on getting a dialog called "Error Deleting File or Folder"
Cannot delete XXXXXXXX. It is being used by another person or program. Close any programs that might be suing the file and try again.


I think this is due to a glitch in another software that writes this file out from a Tcl script. If the script fails without closing the file properly, it remains locked in this way. I don't know why it intermittently fails but the problem could be solved if I simply deleted the pre-exisiting locked file.

I see some software online that does this:
see http://www.thefreecountry.com/utilities/...iles.shtml

but I was wondering if this is something that could be handled by QM?

Thanks, Stuart
