You may have encountered the “File in use” errors when deleting files/folders, especially when clearing out the Temp folder. To successfully delete the temporary files which are in use, you need to determine the process name which has locked the file, and then close the corresponding application first. In Windows 7, the File In Use dialog has improved, as it displays the name of the process which has locked the file.Here is how the File In Use dialogs appear in various Windows Operating Systems

Windows XP

Windows Vista

Windows 7
