File deletion problems

[Dave Bolt]

I have recently noticed intermittent problems with file deletion in Window
XP.
For instance, view a directory with Windows Explorer. View a sub-directory.
Try to delete the sub-directory.
Currently this works without problems approximately 2/3 of the time. The
rest of the time the system tries to tell me that some program is accessing
a file or the directory, or that I do not have sufficient privileges.
Anyone else noticed this problem?
Regards
Dave

Access is Denied Error Message:

Also read this MS KB article about how to take ownership of files.

As for the files being accessed by a program, try booting to Safe Mode and
see if you can delete them.

Sorry chaps,
The files are easily deleatable after a reboot, which forces whatever has a
handle on the files to release.
Also, it does not matter if the files are on Fat32 or NTFS drives.
Any further thoughts?
Thanks,
Dave

Interesting,
Thanks, I'll take a good look at that.
