Many a times when we try to delete a file Windows show an error that the file is being used or some other message and we are unable to delete it. This often happens when the file is infected.
Here is a way to delete any file:
Go to Start>>Run>>cmd
Type in the path where the file is located (eg. "cd c:\temp" ), don’t close this window
Press ctrl + alt + del
In processes panel close "Explorer.exe" (you would see that taskbar disappears), dont close the window
In the command screen delete the file ( del filename )
In the task manager click File >> New task >> Explorer.exe
Taskbar reappears and the file deletes.
This is quite a usefull trick.
If anyone know any other easier way to do the same then please share it
