I use Windows XP. I want to remove a file, but get the message that the file is used by another user, which is NOT the case. How could I get rid of the file.

If that is the case just go to task manager. (right click on the corner of the desktop on the tool bar)
Select taskbar go to processes just check the file it will be running ,end task it.
Then u can delete the file.
