44Fixed Error “Folder or File is Open in Another Program” in Windows 10/8/7.
Windows File Explorer claims the file you’re trying to delete is open in another program or the system? When you can’t open, edit, or delete a file, it’s either still running in the background or didn’t close properly.
The error “File is open in another program” occurs when you perform an operation on a file but because the file is being accessed by another program, you are not able to execute tasks or operations on it. This is a very basic principle which has been there in computing for a very long time. This is primarily done to reduce data inconsistency.
