“Access your locked files to delete them”

Has it ever happened that you try to delete a file, only to receive an error message telling you that the file is in use, or that you don't have permission to access the file, or that the file is write-protected: you can't delete it!

But now you have a new ally. It's called Unlocker and is a simple program capable of detecting the applications and processes that are blocking the file you want to delete, free it and allow you to delete without any problems.
