This program is useful for the following types of errors: On the left of the ‘Kill Process’ button there is a drop-down menu where you can select Copy, Move, Rename, or Delete functions for a locked file. Now you can either unlock all of the processes or kill the process. After Installing this software you can simply right click the file/folder that is giving “Access is Denied” or “File May Be In Use” errors and then click on Unlocker.Ī new window will now pop-up showing the processes as shown below.
This software lets you see which process is holding the lock on the file/folder and then helps you unlock it.
Fortunately, there is a small freeware that can help to fix the access denied error so you can delete your files without any hassle – Unlocker. I checked folder permissions of the users Administrator/IISIUSRS but both should have the rights for read/write access. I searched google for this problem but nothing helped so far. You know how frustrating such error message can be. Everything is fine but I only have read-only access. The problem can occur due to many different reasons, maybe the file is being used by some other programs, you do not have administrator privileges, or maybe you are trying to delete a file on a write-protected disk. Have you ever tried to delete a file and you receive the “Access Denied” error message? This error is quite common and you’re not alone.
