Two things that have worked for me in the past.
1) Try to rename the file. If you can, then reboot the computer and try to
delete it.
2) Copy another file to that directory. Select all the files at once and
try to delete them. I have noticed that with some files, Explorer tries to
read them to display the files contents in the left pain. This locks the
file. By selecting more then one file, this doesn't happen. I often run
into this with large or corrupted tiff files.
Just a thought,

There is a program called moveonboot that can move or delete files the
next time the PC or Server is rebooted. This is the easiest most
painless way to get rid of these pesky files.

Subject: RE: [Vantage] [OT] Shared network files
I've had a few instances where an AutoCAD file wasn't "open-able" or
"delete-able" even though no one was using the file. Three of the files
were restored from a backup and I've never been able to delete them from
the
server location that I temporarily restored them to. Rebooting did
nothing.
The fourth was a file copied to another PC that couldn't be opened until
both PCs were rebooted.
I'd love to delete these three files (along with the series of
directories
holding them),
Anyone?

We're having trouble with certain shared excel files on the network.
The
file has full access because various users need to modify the file.
But
often, when a user goes to open the file, it says that the file is in
use.
After triple-checking that noone has the file open, it still says the
file
is in use. Inevitably, someone who previously had the file opened has
to
reboot their computer to free up the file.
Any idea why certain computers are not releasing the file for others
to
open/view/edit?
