Error deleting file? : here is solution

Problem:If you try to delete a file that is write-protected or is currently in use by another user or application,Windows will not allow you to delete it.Access to the file can also be denied if you’re logged into the system with a restricted user account that does not have the necessary privileges to delete files.

Solution:Generally, all that is necessary to resolve this problem, provided you are logged into the system with sufficient privileges,is to shut down all running applications.Once the apps are closed, try deleting the file(s) again. We commonly see this error when doing routine maintenance on some of the systems in the lab.
The Windows TEMP folder usually contains files that can be safely deleted, but when applications are running, some files are placed in this folder and cannot be removed until the application is closed. Email clients and antivirus software are the most common culprits.

Thank You
