Thankfully, if you are the administrator of the PC, you can easily take back ownership of any file and then delete it.Īlthough there is a manual method to take back ownership in Windows, it’s a bit complicated and prone to errors. Usually, this happens when you upgrade Windows or there are multiple user accounts. If Windows is giving an error that you don’t have the privilege to delete the file, then it must be an ownership issue. You should be able to delete the file now. Once found, select it and click on “End Process” to stop it. The “Description” section will help you find the right process. Look for a process associated with a program that could open your particular file. To fix this, press the Ctrl + Shift + Esc keys to fire up the Task Manager and move to the processes tab. Therefore, even when no program has the file opened in it, Windows will still say that a program is using the file. Furthermore, there is a chance a program might have a hidden process that may still be using the file.
