4) NOW DELETE THE CONCERNED FILE OR DIRECTORY [FOLDER] IN THE DOS MODE.
TO REMOVE FILE TYPE "del
TO REMOVE FOLDER USE "rd

HI Tarun,
how does deleting the explorer.exe makes it del the folder..??
hi........Actually you dont delete the explorer.exe . Its a windows process. It helps you access various folders and files.
By killing it for some time. You are stopping it to access the particular file. With the help of this process, the file is linked with some other program or file which is preventing it from being deleted........so now you can delete the file in DOS mode [ you can think it to be unattractive form of explorer]
Tarun Kumar, this is a very good post. It worked well for me. I understand the process, but I never thought about it. Never. Thank you.
thank you so much....you own!!
u plz elaborate it more clearly what ever m doin does matter at all plz my destok folder isnt gettin delete..
@^^^^
use the software unlocker bro
if you are using windows vista or lower.
Thanxx buddy...unlocker was useful...oderwise it was displaying errors...wel y does it happen?
thanks a lot dear.
hi
It happens because the folder or the files gets locked by the process or in use by that process
The file gets locked when the query to grant the privilidges of the file to the process is not completed on time or is withheld due to some reason.
for that you must stop that process completely [my cmd method] or unlock that file from the process [by unlocker]
Yes ! perfectly works fine !
I was able to delete the files smmothly with command promt.
Yes ! I was succesfully able to delete the data from one of the shared drive which was not getting deleted via explorer.

Hi
I just tried your method, and i hit some problems. my command was rd C:\Programfiles \common files \..... \MicrosoftOfficeProtectionPolicy.
I hit enter, it said "u sure Y/N?"
Yes... Now i have no common files folder anymore (filled with important stuff) and I think I am missing a couple of other folders in my programfiles folder. *facepalm* i dont have a recent(or any other for that matter) backup of my system, basically... I am fucked..*sadface*
Is there any way i can maybe get my shit back?(don't think so)
Anyways, it has sure been a learning experiance...
thanks man unlocker worked when you crash explorer.exe after you try to emty the recycle bin. I had wow on win vista and when I got 7 it put all of my vista shit in a windows.old folder and I didn't want to go through and change ownership on every file in there It would have takin forever. thank you
