Why can't Windows just give me an option right on the prompt to stop the program/s that are using the file/folder I want to delete instead of just giving a useless "Try again" option? I mean, might at least give me the name of the program I have to stop right on the prompt.
Hi there, thank you for your question. Windows does provide some information to help you identify the issue, but it could certainly be more user-friendly. Here's why it works the way it does and how you can identify the program that's using a file or folder: Reason for Limited Information: Windows doesn't always provide the name of the program using the file or folder because there could be multiple processes or applications involved. A file may be locked by the operating system itself, background services, or multiple running applications, making it challenging to pinpoint a single program. It's also a matter of simplicity and avoiding overwhelming users with too much information. Task Manager: To identify the program using a file or folder, you can use the Task Manager: Press Ctrl + Shift + Esc or Ctrl + Alt + Delete and select "Task Manager." In the "Processes" or "Details" tab (depending on your Windows version), look for the program or process that may be related to the file or folder you want to delete. Right-click on the process and select "End Task" to stop the program. Resource Monitor: Another useful tool is the Resource Monitor, which provides more detailed information about which processes are accessing specific files: Press Win + R to open the Run dialog, type "resmon," and press Enter. In the Resource Monitor, go to the "Disk" tab and look for the file or folder in the "Disk Activity" section. You can see the associated processes here.
I still can't able to delete the file, I have downloaded two "Download managers" and one Anti virus protection app called "Avast Free Antivirus" and im not able to delete them and they are taking unnecessary space in my C drive..can u help plss
Hi there, thank you for your question. If you're having trouble deleting files or applications on a Windows system, you can try the following steps: Close any Running Programs: Ensure that the download managers and antivirus application are not actively running. Close them if they are open. Use Task Manager: Press Ctrl + Shift + Esc to open Task Manager. Look for any processes related to the download managers or antivirus application. Right-click on them and select "End Task." Uninstall Applications: To uninstall the download managers and Avast Free Antivirus, you can use the following steps: Press Win + I to open the Settings. Go to "Apps." Locate the applications you want to uninstall in the list. Click on the application and select "Uninstall."
YOU DIDNT SHOW US WHAT TO DO IN THE SECURITY TAB. MINE DOESN'T SAY ANYTHING ABOUT ENABLING DELETE. SO FAR, NO ONE HAS AWNSERED HOW TO DELETE A FILE. A SINGLE FILE. WHY WOULN'T THERE BE A DELETE OPTION ON THE RIGHT CLICK TAB? WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY...................ARGGGGGGGGGG
