Also, I've found the unlocker tool...

...a godsend. For stuff that's locked this can be just what's needed to get rid of the lock.

HTH,

it usually means something is holding it open, if you download the sysinternals 
tools (Google sysinternals) they can show you the processes holding a file 
open. From memory its the 'handle' command but check the docs.

This is Universe 10.2.3 on Windows 7 Professional (if that matters)

LINE 121 Unable to unlink the operating system file "BILLS.123"

I'm trying to delete this file on this line, so what sort of thing causes this 
particular error ?

Could it be that the file is being held open by something? That I don't have 
permissions to delete ?
That the directory is read-only in Windows?

What is my checklist to run through, to figure out which issue is my issue?
