    Hi! I hope someone can help me.. I have this movie that I want to delete of my pc (windows xp), it's allready in my trash can but when I select it and want to delete it, I get a warning that "Dc43 is in use by another program" therefore can't be deleted...
    I've closed everything except my trash can and still can't delete this file.

    Hi

    Options to delete this errant file are,


    1. Pocket Killbox
    2. MoveOnBoot this one, once you dragNdrop the file or browse for its location, deletes the file on reboot, so any applications that have locked the file are not running so cannot lock it before deletion.. my fav!
    3. Unlocker

    4. Boot into safe mode and then try deleting the trash.
