Since we're on the subject, we would also like to point out that both Vista and Windows 7 users might be required to disable the User Account Control feature in order to use this utility. However, users running these systems may notice that the app is not capable of shell integration and that the tray agent visible on older OSes is not present. The app is designed to work on basically all versions of Windows, with the latest Win 8, 8.1 and 10 included. You can choose to either delete, rename, move, or to take no action, pretty straightforward by all accounts. If, by chance, no locking handles have been found the utility prompts you to choose an action you want to perform on the selected object. You are then provided with a list of all the files or processes from the specific location if the application detects the so-called the process handles which have various active locks, as well as with the means of dealing with them. Subsequent to its typical and surprise-free installation procedure, launch the app and browse for the files you want to unlock via the simple Explorer window. Fool-proof functionality - unlock files with just as few mouse clicks Unlocker sports a basic, no-nonsense GUI which should help anyone access its minimal set of features with next to no effort. With that out of the way, there's not much to be said in regards to its functionality. Tiny it may be, but it's fully capable of both killing important processes and deleting critical files from your OS. Regarded as the best app of this sort out there (it's definitely the most popular), Unlocker is capable of killing processes, unloading DLLs, deleting index.dat files, as well as unlocking, deleting, renaming, and moving locked files, usually without even requiring a reboot.īefore proceeding forward, a word of caution is in order: don't underestimate the efficiency of this app. Happily, there's a small and almost life-changing app called Unlocker which, as its name suggests, allows you to take back control over your files and permissions. Say goodbye to annoying cannot-delete-files errors We've all been there, and admittedly, having vague errors like "Cannot delete file: Access is denied.", or "The file is in use by another program or user." or "The source or destination file may be in use." thrown in your face is not the least enjoyable. Still, if you were to reach down in Windows' special bag of little annoyances, there's a good chance you'll find a couple of very popular situations when are not allowed to delete various files. In the About Snagit box, you should see your version type (highlighted below).We're not going to ask you why and just how many times you have been annoyed while working with Windows, we're just going to assume that that's just the normality, after all, we've all come to accept the little niggles for the grander good and convenience the Microsoft OS offers us.
