whats actually happening is you have highlighted the file and the thumbnail displayed, therefore the file is now ‘in use’.. so deleting is a pain.
I have to re-boot when this happens and try straight-away at removing them.The problem is terrible on TIF’s which are massive.

i guess you highlighted the file to delete it again.. ?! To get round it sometimes, I drag a box around 2-3 files and delete 2-3 files.

Boys And ladies try the new software unlocker version 7 all you have to do is install in system right click on your file and choose unlock then it will delete the file.
The reason this happens its a harmful virus that locks your files especially if they are coming from another computer. or maybe something we do when saving its more common with .eps files
