- Cannot Delete - Window's server 2003
- Posted by Vexander on May 11th, 2007
I have a proble across most of my 2003 servers. Items in the Recycel bin can
not be emptied, and it has now spread to other files on the HDD's.
I get the error "Cannot delete <file name>: It is being used by another
person or program." But there is nothing else that could be used files in
the recyle bin, or any of the other files that I am getting this error with.
I have rebooted and tried again. no luck.
Thanx in advance.
