Default How to Forcefully delete a File
Hi,

I want to forcefully remove a File that is being used by another application.

Is there any way I can do the same?

Thanks and Regards,
Savan Thakkar

If the application has the file locked, no. Your application would have to remove the lock placed on the file to delete it.

What to do if any other application is already using it?
Can't I place a code to remove the lock on file?
