Unable to delete files

Posted in PC Matters on Jun 26th, 2023

After having tried the normal workarounds like CMD, Powershell, ForceDelete, Exitol and using Microsoft Process Explorer to identify and ending processes without any success, I found the following that worked.

  • For fixed drives, use Diskmgmt.msc to take the drive offline and remount
  • For network drives, dismount and remount the drives

And it worked.
