Question: I'm moving some files around on the server (Windows Server 2003), and there's a locked file that no one seems to have open. How do I delete this file?

Answer: 
Use the [openfiles](https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/Bb490961.aspx) command to identify and disconnect users who have the file open. If that doesn't work, download the [Unlocker](http://www.emptyloop.com/unlocker/) utility.

Openfiles syntax:

```
openfiles.exe /query
openfiles.exe /disconnect /id openFileID

```
