Guest Kai Apel Posted August 19, 2008 Posted August 19, 2008 Dear NG, ich have copied some files to the new Windows 2008 Server and now I couldn`t delete a folder, Windows said, that a process is using this folder. There are no files inside and i have tried with unlocker and change the rights of the folder, trying to delete with the commandline - no result. How could I see, wich prozess is using this folder? And how can i delete it - thx for any idea! Kai Apel(Berlin)

I consider that a Bart PE boot CD is a indispensible tool for a system administrator.

Guest Kai Apel Posted August 19, 2008 Posted August 19, 2008 Re: Couldn't delete Folder at Windows 2008 Server Okay - with ProcessExplorer I could identify, that SYSTEM was using the folder - so I have killed the process and see - I could delete the folder. Kai
