Yes, thank you I copied it tomy Windows go to tips folder
Ahhhh... the DOS days return
Thx
holy shit thank you so much!
Dearest, did everything you proved, but still the response is: Access is denied. Do you know other options/software?
Forcefully deleting folders which cannot be deleted gives me so much of self-satisfaction. That CMD trick I never knew. Thanks!
Sometimes the file can't be deleted because another program is using it, in which case closing that program will often allow the file to be deleted. Although the simplest thing to do is to restart the computer and then try deleting the file. That will close out anything that might be using the file.
Omg i just saw this and then I tried it and it worked 😮💨🙏
Could you tell me on how to close it?
how to close the current program that still running?
@@abelryan6142 restart your computer and then try
Thanks😂
Thank you very much Brian you're a lifesaver
Had a trouble deleting a dll file which my pc thought was a virus
Lots of love 💖
If your pc thought it were a virus, why couldn't you delete it??
The power trip I get from deleting a folder from a video game that was fighting me to the death over being deleted by using the power of the console is thrilling. Thank you.
THANK YOU SO MUCH!
tried cmd and powershell method they didn't work but EMCO worked like a charm, just needed a reboot. You're a life saver ❤️
What a great video Brian as always you make it so easy to do stuff on our machines👍👍
Thanks 👍
THANK YOU! Instructions worked exactly as you described!
You my friend are a living legend, I had a very shady miner installed that was taking up 70% of my cpu, and I just could not delete it with any programs I installed, you saved my computer from meltdown
Perfect! I'd tried several other supposed fixes but yours actually worked.
Thanks a lot! The command prompt threw a revert as "access denied" but EMCO did the job quite easily
same here :(
Thank you so the second command worked for me. It is great how you put multiple ways incase some of them didn't work for other people 👌
Thank you so much SIR! I have solved several problems seeing your tutorial.
Many thanks Brian - that's really helpful! All the best, Pete
Glad it was helpful!
oh my god you are the best person ever!!!! The tutorial worked and its super easy and understandable. I hade a file and a folder that didn't allow me to delete them but after using the program i now could delete them and the satisfaction was amazing!!! 10/10 best video ever!!!
Thank you SOO much! I was finally able to delete an annoying file with a super long file name. Thank you!! I appreciate your step-by-step instructions and examples. This is exactly what I needed. I am a new subscriber! You ROCK! :)
Thank you so much! I had a stubborn EPIC Games folder that refused to budge. Your video is so clear! I tried the first two methods you mention, to no avail, and then downloaded the EMCO UnLockIt software. Unlocked the folder and deleted it! Worked like a charm!! You saved me! I thought I'd have to wipe my whole computer! Thank you!! I've subscribed.
Good one chap. Can't stop learning!
Very helpful video. Ended up needing to use the UnlockIt tool and worked great! Thanks for making this video!
Thank you. This has been an issue with Windows 11 not wanting to delete files/folders that I want removed. These command prompts are great, I had a MS OFFICE folder in the programs directory, which is x64 files, that was refusing to delete from the command prompt. So with the help of unLock it, I was able to successfully remove that folder, making me, one happy camper.
Glad I could help
Helped me a lot. Thank you!
Thank you so much! This worked for me after many other things did not
Very useful as usual and software tip as well - cheers
Many thanks!

That was very helpful man thanks...
No problem 👍

Mine contains a program that I cannot uninstall. I cannot find it in the settings or in Task Manager. When I am deleting it says "The action can't be completed because the folder or a file in it is open in another program".
Did you fix this problem
@@prodigyink yap, I open the app. Once it show itself in the task manager I then end it and delete the program. It's actually the service stopping me from deleting it.
That UnLock IT was working. Other stuff were good but not working. UnLock IT will delete it no matter what. Great video!
Fantastic!!!
Thank you for the video.
thank you bro you just got a new subscriber
You saved my life. Thank you 😊 ❤

Thank you. I have tried to delete Internet Explorer only to keep failing..... success at last, I used "Unlock It" I tried the command prompt and power shell but only Unlock It worked.... thank you again.
Hey Brian, I actually use Iobit Unlocker to unlock and force delete them, but mostly I use "Take ownership" 😉 which is cool.
Thanks for the video Brian😄

Great video, helped get rid of two annoying files. Trying to delete two more undeletable files on a 1TB SSD drive I use as back up but even these recs won't delete them - any ideas apart from formatting drive - got a lot of stuff on there, thanks
Create a Live Linux USB and boot to that, navigate to then delete the files from within the Live Linux session then reboot and all should be fine again.
Glad it helped!
@@Tw3akst3r Hi, thanks, anyway for us non-tech/non-linux knowledge guys ?
Thank you for this Brian !!!!
My pleasure!
Thanks for the tips
you are a life saver, thanks a million, I was about to loose my sanity and terminate my PC until I came across your video!!!!
Thank you! I've been searching for ages to remove a file and nothing worked, until I got to your "Remove-item - path "File_path". I didn't even type the last bit -force, but it worked like a charm, and now, after years of trying, the file's a goner :o] You made my day and me a happy man. Again, thank you so much!
thank you so much unlock it solved my issue really appreciate it 😘😘
