forcefully delete a file?

[OrdinaryFrog]

Sometimes a process locks a file and I dont really know what that process is. Deleting the file gives an error because the file is in use by that process. I'm wondering if there is a way to find out which process it is, and also if there's a way to unlock the file from that process and delete it anyways. (like you know how you can unmount the whole partition and remove all file handles... is it possible to do that to one single file and invalide the file handles to that particular file?)

You should look for a utility to download, called "FILEMON"
