Unlockr is a excellent utility that many users already know, it is a free program to unlock files and / or units when these for example cannot be deleted and / or renamed. Surely on some occasion it will have happened to you, the image that this example reflects can be clearly seen in the following capture:
  

Now, Why is this happening? basically it is because some program, system process (explorer.exe) or person in case of being in a local network, is still using our file / unit, as specified by the Windows message itself. Then, How to unlock it? If we have knowledge, obviously we will do it through the Windows Task Manager. Otherwise and in order not to fight, for this we have at our disposal Unlocker,

Use Unlocker It is quite simple, if we have it installed on our computer, just right click on the locked file and select 'Unlocker', instantly we will have the interfering processes listed in its very clear interface, ready to be terminated / unlocked or unlocked everything at once. It also offers us the actions of Delete / Rename / Move / Copy said file. That simple and effective.
In the case of using the version portable ideal for memories USB, the process consists of Search Using the browser, the file or the drive that is locked, the following is identical to the above.
I personally use it to unlock my usb stick when this cannot be safely expelled.

    It didn't work for me with Win7, but I finally use CMD… I'm curious, how do you use it to unlock your USB? Thanks!

    @Christophe Patigny Lartelier: Yes, the same thing has also happened to me, that is why looking for alternatives I came across lockhunter, which in my opinion is a tool more stable and efficient. Maybe you know it, it is freeware and compatible with Windows 2000, XP, 2003, Vista, 7 and its installer file 1 MB.

    About unlock my usb stick, I meant eject it safely, when it is being occupied by another process or in execution a file of the same one. I don't think I used the correct term ...

    Greetings colleague, welcome to the blog and thank you for sharing your opinion 😀
