It's an infuriating thing when the operating system doesn't let us move or delete a file because something is using it. Normally, it's a simple matter of closing an application or unloading the file, but on rare occasions the system leaves us clueless on what exactly is using that file, so we are left with a file that can't be touched until you restart the computer. Fortunately, this issue can be solved immediately with the right software. A good example is Free File Unlocker. Just give it one or more files and it will unlock them right away, without any kind of complications.

As the name suggests, the application is absolutely free. You can download its setup package and install its components in under a minute. It is compatible with all popular Windows versions and it doesn't ask for any special tools or services.

Free File Unlocker is quite easy to use. All you have to do is point it at your locked files, click a button and you're done. You can target single files or entire folders, but you can use other methods as well, like scanning for locked files and folders. Once your files are loaded, you may click a button on a toolbar to find all the locks that are keeping those files in place.

Locked files are displayed in a list, on the main interface, if they have any locks. Files are listed with various details, like the program that's using them and their full paths, handles, process IDs and more. At this point, you can simply click a button to unlock the listed files and you will be able to do whatever you want with them. Alternatively, you can delete, rename, copy or move your files right away, by clicking different options, on the same toolbar.

Regardless of what you wish to do with your files, Free File Unlocker will help you make sure that nothing will prevent you from doing it.

Pros

Unlocking files is a straightforward process. The software is capable of unlocking data instantly. It can also perform basic operations, like moving or renaming, to save you valuable time.

Cons

There are no obvious issues to mention.
