Cannot delete an un-needed file

[calmius]

Hi,
I got a problem. There is a file in my computer in the Firefox download folder. Although the downloads option in firefox menu does NOT show any filels being downloaded the file is in the firefox folder. I cannot delete it because when i try it it says that its being used by "another program" I tried to delete it ini safe mode but its going away.

Thanks

try this lil program (recommended to me from someone else on here.)

Wholockme. It lists the programs using a file, you can choose which process to stop, and then delete the file. I've used it a few times and was prety good.

btw i take no responsiblity if it causes any problems

Even easier.

Hi glc, Does snapfiles show you who the offender is like wholockme does and must you wait until reboot to clear it.

Nope, Moveonboot simply flags the file for deletion on the next reboot.
