Unlocker ScreenShotEver had a file or folder refuse to be deleted or renamed? This most likely happens because another program or process is still in memory and still accessing that file or folder.

    Hello,

    I work for a healthcare company that utilizes numerous apps. One app in particular has a corrupted file and is taking our IT forever to remove. I am wondering if this tool can help and how do I get it. Also, will it affect anything else on the server.

    Thanks

    Can this program unlock administrative folders like say at a school?

    I don’t think it will give you administrative privileges. It only “unlocks” files that prove difficult to remove if you normally should have access. I find it really useful for getting rid of files that have difficult file names or that think they are being used by a program.

    It is on my “To keep” list.

    Amazing! It deleted a pesky empty folder that just would not delete after using editplus and other malware remover programs. I love this site hehe. Keep it up!

    Your site is exceptional in the detail it gives on every program. If I can make a suggestion: you could make the “Download” button far easier to find. In any case, thank you very much for what you do, and how you do it.

    Unlocker is bundled with spyware. Tell it not to install toolbars and shortcuts etc. – does it anyway. Nice utility screwed up by its idiot programmer.

    The link is dead, but I found the French site and managed to download 1.9.0, but now I’m not sure if I want to install it since it apparently doesn’t support English.
