Download IObit Unlocker Latest Version
IObit Unlocker is an application designed to delete files and folders that cannot be removed (locked) because they are being used by another application.
When using a laptop or PC, it is common to create or copy folders and files. In daily computer use, dealing with files and folders often leads to certain issues that can interrupt your work—one of the most frustrating being files or folders that cannot be deleted through standard methods. This usually happens because the file or folder is locked by the system or another application, having strong access permissions that prevent manual deletion.
Have you ever tried to delete a file or folder only to encounter error messages like:
- “Cannot delete file: Access is denied”
- “Cannot delete folder: It is being used by another person or program”
- “There has been a sharing violation”
These warnings appear because the file is still in use or locked by a program. The frustrating part is that users typically cannot identify which program is using the file. As a result, when attempting to delete it, such warnings pop up and prevent the deletion. In short, the file cannot be removed because it is still tied to an active process.
There are several causes for files or folders being difficult to delete: they may still be in use by another application, infected with a virus, locked by the system administrator, or other similar issues. Fortunately, IObit Unlocker is a lightweight and easy-to-use freeware application that supports Windows operating systems.
With IObit Unlocker, you can not only delete stubborn files but also unlock files locked by other processes. If the normal unlock attempt fails, the software provides a Forced Mode feature that terminates related processes to forcibly unlock the file. Once unlocked, the file or folder can be renamed, moved, or deleted.
IObit Unlocker releases files or folders in use by other programs or users, allowing you to view, modify, or delete them in just a short amount of time.
