Guest Chris Smith Posted March 6, 2008 Posted March 6, 2008 Hello, I have a strange issue whereby a user will open a file, work on it and then close it. The user then tries to delete the file and gets the dreaded "Cannot delete file or folder error - It may be in use or write protected.". The file is located on a file share on a server 2003 file server and the user has full permissions on the file and share respectively. This issue occurs sporadically on a multitude of file types but always the same machine / user. I have even tried the good old reformat and reinstall on the client and the deletion and re-creation of the user account but to no avail. Strangely enough the open file does not appear in the file server mmc snap-in. The only way to delete the files is to reboot the client and close all sessions on the server. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance Chris
