Ever had such an annoying message given by Windows: Cannot delete file: Access is denied. There has been a sharing violation. The source or destination file may be in use or the file is in use by another program or user. Make sure the disk is not full or write-protected and that the file is not currently in use. Unlocker is the solution. Unlocker is an Explorer extension that allows you with a simple right-click of the mouse on a file or folder to get rid of error message such as error deleting file or folder, cannot delete folder: it is used by another person or program.

I have used this tool personally and found it to be very useful.

Other simliar tools I've reviewed are WhoLockMe and Process Explorer. I have found this one to be the most simple and useful.
 
An update, I used Process Explorer to track and delete some messy spyware from my system. Nice little tool I must say.

I normally delete such files thru command prompt. This sounds easier.

Don't think it always works. The lock on the file/folder handle still remains even in the cmd prompt. Command prompt is more useful for deleting system files and files not easily shown in explorer for god knows whatever reason.
