About IObit Unlocker

Unlocking is one of the most complex unlocking tools. It can close handles and kill processes without restarting, deleting, renaming or moving the locked files. It also has some other tricks that other similar programs lack.

A common Windows error is “Cannot delete file: It is being used by another person or program. Close any programs that may be using the file and try again.” This dialog box can be very annoying since you know you are not doing anything wrong. The error appears because that file is currently “locked”, meaning that a program/process is using the file.

Many programs will help you with this problem, but the best in my opinion is IObit Unlocker for Windows.
