Sometimes when we try to delete a file or folder , Windows does not allow us to delete that file or folder whether it is being used by another program or it no longer exists in the system.

Most easy and effective way to delete unwanted files or folders :
- Just Rename the file or folder , Now try to delete it. If it is not deleted, Just Restart computer and then again delete it.
- If it not Renamed , try to delete individual files in the folder ,if files left undeleted. Restart computer and then again try to rename and delete.
- " Can not delete file : It is being used by another person or program " ,files or folder with this error can be deleted by : Open task manager >> End process explorer.exe >> Close task manager and delete the file/folder.
These are the most easy and simple ways without using any software.They may work or not for all types of files.
Have Fun!
