    can not delete the file?

    I'm working on a program. It watches a folder for file changes. in certain cases, it needs delete the files in that folder. sometimes, it has this error:

    The action can't be completed because the file is open in another program

    is there a way to force delete a file? or this is not possible?

    thanks

    If the file is locked by a program then it can't be deleted.
