I read the story and have had a similar problem. Don't be so quick to be a smartass. I simply ended all the programs but the essentials and I could then delete the file.

I don't think that the idiom "with all due respect" means what you think it means. It means I am trying very hard
not to be a "smartass," yet you interpreted it to mean exactly it's opposite.
So, let me ask a simple question. If you had read my story then why did you suggest that I shut down all but essential programs as if I hadn't already solved my problem?

not to mention restarting your computer is something you should try. sometimes an application that is exexcuted on startup can hold a file hostage. sometimes it won't. it's always worth a try. everything is worth a try.

Restarting your computer is not something you should always try. Restarting your computer will fix most of your problems but it should be a last resort. If rebooting doesn't help then you've got some serious problems!
