Unlocker
Unlock files that cannot be accessed because other program locked them
Technologies: C#, Xamarin, Android
It’s always frustrating when you want to delete or rename a file and you get a message saying that file is still in used. Obviously, it’s not evident what process is using that file.
This small tool lists all the processes using a certain file and gives a quick options to kill those processes. (Update 2020: latest versions of Windows now provide the name of the application locking the file, but there’s no really easy way to kill them, especially if there are several processes of that application open).
Under the hood, Unlocker is using the Restart Manager API to find process locking the file.
