I had already tried that and received the same error message as I did in Explorer

I know it sounds simplistic but it worked.

I ended up being pretty certain that antivirus software was locking it though. I have also seen the OS itself lock files, when it's trying to show a preview or for other unknown reasons. Sometimes opening a command prompt window to the file's parent folder, and then killing explorer with task manager, enabled me to delete it.

You may not have a choice but to reboot if you can't find what is holding the files. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ellis, Debbie Sent: Thursday, January 05, 2006 11:22 AM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] Windows 2003 Server Thanks for the info, but it did not work The pdf files did not show up as being in use. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of joe Sent: Thursday, January 05, 2006 10:22 AM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] Windows 2003 Server You can try this. On the file server run the command NET FILE Look for the files in question. Write down the ID Then when you have the IDs NET FILE <ID> /CLOSE DEL FILE Obviously replace <ID> with the ID from the NET FILE enumeration. ________________________________ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ellis, Debbie Sent: Thursday, January 05, 2006 10:03 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [ActiveDir] Windows 2003 Server There are a few pdf files that I can not delete on my file and print server. I have domain admin permissions and the file is not read only. It gives me the error messages that the file is in use. I don't want to reboot the server. Has anyone else had this problem and what was the solution?
