I can't delete a file. I get "this file is used by another application or user.

I'm trying to delete a file that my "Identity patrol" software is marked as malware. However, when I use the software to remove this file it will fail to do so.

When I try to delete the file myself, I get the error message:

"This file is used by another application or user.

How to find our other application or the user uses this file? How can I remove it?

  • How can I delete a file in use by demon updater?

    How can I delete a file that says it's in use by Daemon updater.exe?

    I have a computer with a hard drive of GB 914, who recently said that it is impossible to install a program because the disk is full. While they inspected, I found that it only reported about 200 GB of usage and after you remove files non-essential, I released 57 GB of disk space.

    I made sure to show all files and installed a file tree Locator and found a log of 684 GB file but when I tried to remove it, it said that the file was not in the specified location. Then I manually found the file in system32 tree and he said that it is impossible to delete the file because it is used by daemonupdater.exe.

    can anyone help please?

    I suggest start safe mode to see if that helps with your problem.  Safe mode starts only the drivers and programs needed.

  • I can't delete some files that I uploaded to the server. What should I do?

    I can't delete some files that I uploaded to the server. I get a notice: FTP an error occurred - cannot delete the PDF download server folder. Operation failed. The directory is not empty, or there may be a permission problem.

    What should I do?

    Try to delete the files in your folder first.

    If there is a permissions problem on the server that you cannot delete files, you need to contact your Site Administrator (if you have one) or your Web hosting provider.

  • Can I delete the files

    IM my Toshiba A80 there are four files in C:\ driver:

    I386 with 455Mb;
    SUPPORT with 12, 9 MB;
    VALLUEADD with 10.8 MB:
    TOOLSCD with 458 MB.

    I think that these files are windows xp family (backup) CD. Can I delete these files?

    Hello

    In my opinion, you should leave these files. If you n t need Tools CD you can remove it, but in my opinion, you should burn all the tools on CD before you delete it. It may happen that you need the tools later.

    Start please help Toshiba and under protection and Fix, you can find an option Create CD drivers and tools. This option allows you to create an external backup of the drivers support.

    How can I delete a file on my iOS device that I downloaded from my iCloud? I just want to keep the Preview on my iOS device without using my storage iOS for the entire file. This means that the file is still in the iCloud and available to be downloaded to any device.

    In practice, I want to be able to scan and download through my documents located in my iCloud and once I didn't need them on my iOS device I would like 'load their return to the cloud' to my storage of the iOS device is not used.

    Thank you in advance to the community!

    The only way I found to do that once a file has been downloaded is to remove it and add it again through either from Finder on Mac or iCloud.com.
