Unlocker is a fantastic program that I have been using for some time. Basically, it allows you to unlock—and then delete/rename/edit/etc—any file that Windows says is currently in use. It’s simple, free, and works very well.

I just use Process Exp and search for the file name and terminate whatever is using it.
Unlocker is easier though because it attaches itself to the shell, so you can just right-click the file.
This program has saved my ass more than a few times. I thank you for recommending to me nearly a year ago.
