It can often be difficult to understand JAWS' pronunciation of many of
these processes, so the best thing to do is to virtualize the window (JAWS
key-Control-W) so that you can spell out the name of any process that sounds
suspicious. I assume you know which program created the file you are trying
to delete, so try to find this program or something that sounds similar to
it in the list of processes.

Hi there; I think you have nailed it for me; I did what you advised up to
the point where I got to the list of presses. Now my problem is that jaws
read them in such a way that I can't tell what they are and I'm scared I
wouldn't know what they were even if I could recognize them; I don't know
what I'm looking for. I think you are right also because when my computer
has been on for a while, I notice that it slows down and gets mushy
feeling, if you know what I mean. Give me some pointers about what to
look for, if you can. thanks,
Dan

The file you are trying to delete may be in use by a program that is
running in the backround as a process rather than an application. Such
programs often launch automatically when you turn on your computer, so
you may not be aware of them. To check this, launch the Windoes Task
Manager (Alt-Control-Delete) and Control-Tab to the Processes page.
Arrow down the list of processes to determine whether one of them might
be accessing the file you are trying to delete. If you find the
offending process, you can tab to the End Process button to shut it down
so that you can delete the file.

Forgive me for being stupid but ?I don't know; would that cause this and
if it will, how or should I say, what should I do.

Subject: [Blind-Computing] question about deleting files
When I attempt to delete a file I get a message saying the file cannot
be deleted because it is being used by another person or program; I
have no other program running nor is there any other person using my
computer; could someone tell me what is going on and how I can fix
this. Thanks for the help.
