ForceDelete

Tired of files that refuse to be detailed by the system due to reasons like "The file is in use by another program or user," "The file is used by another process," "The source or destination file may be in use" or other similar prompts? You might be in luck. ForceDelete is a neat program that can rid you of any file that refuses to get deleted. No aimless process hunting and no unplanned PC restarts, is what this utility can prevent.

ForceDelete comes with a lightweight UI and also includes itself in the system's context menu. You can delete or unlock items in a jiffy, and if the context menu entries are not wanted, you can always remove them by unchecking the Context Menu box from within the interface.

Deleting a file can be done by drag and drop. A large graphical representation will also indicate that. Once the item is deleted, the interface will let you know.

As you have probably noticed by now, the UI has a couple more checkboxes. One for closing the processes that kept your file blocked, and the other for securely deleting items, or rendering them unrecoverable.

If you need to delete files in batches, that is also possible, but there's a catch — you have to be familiar with how the command line tool works. In case you don't know too much about CMD but want to take advantage of the batch mode, you can follow these instructions.

To conclude, ForceDelete is a must-have for users dealing with files that cannot be removed by conventional means. Instead of hard-resetting your PC, the program will force-remove any item and close any process, saving you time and preventing further frustration and headaches.
