It probably happen to you dat you are trying to delete certain file and receive  “the action can’t be completed because the file is open in another program” annoying message. It happens most with .avi or other video files

So to takeover this tiny problem you can use ” Unlocker” utility that is free to use and solves most “locked” files problems.

Unlocker is the solution to the following types of Windows error messages

  • Cannot delete folder: It is being used by another person or program
  • Cannot delete file: Access is denied
  • There has been a sharing violation.
  • The source or destination file may be in use.
  • The file is in use by another program or user.

Make sure the disk is not full or write-protected and that the file is not currently in use.

  1. Simply right click the folder or file and select Unlocker
  2. If the folder or file is locked, a window listing of lockers will appear
  3. Simply click Unlock All and you are done!

Good luck
