why can't I delete my backup pst file?

[Guest]

I created a .pst file to import/export my outlook data between my laptop and
my PC.

When I try to delete this fie it says that another person or program is
using the file and can't be deleted or re-named. I can't re locate the file
to another location either.

I have created other .pst files and then am able to delete or modify them.
This file is very large and want to regain the drive space. Any suggestions
would be appreciated. Thanks!

obvious question, but do you have outlook open when you try to do that?

Yes, I have tried it when Outlook is open or when it is closed. Thanks, DLW
