Unlocker | Breaking the Lock of Explorer
May 6th, 2009 | Posted in » File Management | by HotutIt’s very annoying that we sometimes can’t delete a certain file or folder in our own computers because it’s locked somehow. This often happens with the big files being accessed by Windows Explorer associated with some programs like Windows Media Player, anti-virus software and etc at background. And it’s weird that in the Windows cache folder we can’t copy away the .FLV formatted files cached for the videos when we visit a video website like YouTube. In short, some non-system files in our own computers may be locked by the damned Explorer and we can’t move or delete them to save space until we restart the computer. Fortunately, Unlocker, 100% free and clean, is exactly a great solution to break the damned lock. I have been using it happily for years.
Unlocker, developed by Cedrick Collomb, is as light as only 223 KB size with the latest version 1.8.7. Install it with Explorer extension, right-click a file or folder, and you’ll find Unlocker in the menu for what you couldn’t do. Details and free downloads are available on its official website http://ccollomb.free.fr/unlocker/.
