It may happen that when you are trying to delete a file, you receive the following error message:
Cannot delete filename: Access is denied.
Make sure the disk is not full or write-protected and that the file is not currently in use.
There are a few different methods you can employ to delete this file for good, but before going through all of those steps, it is important to make sure that the file you are trying to delete is not currently in use. If this is not the case, there are free third-part applications and simple command line tools you can use in order to forcibly delete a file or folder.
1-Close any open programs. The most common cause of this error message is a program currently accessing the file you are trying to delete. For example, if you are trying to delete a document that is currently open in Word, or trying to delete a song that is currently playing.
2-Open the /”Task Manager./” Press Ctrl+Alt+Del and select /”Task Manager/” from the menu. Click on the /”User Name/” tab and find the entries under your username. Most of these programs can be ended without causing the system to crash.
3-Close the programs you recognize. You can do this by selecting them and clicking /”End Process./”
If you close a program that causes the system to become unstable, restart your computer to restore.
4-Restart your computer. Oftentimes, restarting your computer will release the hold that a program had on a specific file. Try deleting the file after you have completed the restart and before you open any other programs. If the file still shows the error message, continue on to the next method.
