Sometimes the file can't be deleted because another program is using it, in which case closing that program will often allow the file to be deleted. Although the simplest thing to do is to restart the computer and then try deleting the file. That will close out anything that might be using the file.

None of these steps worked for me, I'm trying to delete a window (not windows.old) folder + Program Files + Program Files (x86) folders from 2018 SDD, launch in Admin, I tried all these options and more, and it says "Access is Denied" for each single file it tries to delete, what do I do? When I tried safe mode, 3 of my 5 SSDs wouldn't open, I had to "Open in New Window", which worked, but still, to delete that Windows Folder, this time the error message was "You need trustedinstaller to detele this" (trusted installer 1 word). I'm using WIndows 11. EDIT: (Below): I was finally able to delete it! But not through "Auditing Permissions via Advanced Properties" - I followed Win 10 advice and I guess there's an extra layer of security in Windows 11? Some buttons were in other locations as well from screenshots. So what worked was making an ownership registry script.. Holy moly that wasn't easy for a non-programmer like me (I'm more Hardware & Third Party Software person over Coding).

No cmd or power shell commands were able to remove the folder, they errored out as well. Also tried following all Microsoft guide i could find about changing ownership, editing r/w permissions, changing admin privileges etc. NOTHING worked. but that emco software just removed the folder like it was nothing.

Help! I did the steps for deleting a file in the command prompt. In command prompt upon pressing enter a response said that the file can't be deleted because the file is being used in another process. When I try to delete the file normally it says it's being used by system. This file is in the downloads section. I was downloading an xbox 360 ROM. How do I go about deleting the file in this case and/or finding how to stop the "process" that it's doing.

I figured it out in case anyone has the same problem. It was an iso image file. You have to open "This PC" in the file explorer and right click the virtual drive that was created automatically when downloading the iso image file. Open more options and press "eject". That will delete the virtual drive and then you can delete the iso image file normally or through command prompt.
