Unlock Files That Cannot Be Deleted With LockHunter

It was very devastating when you want to delete file/files in your computer but this window is popping up and tell you the file/files cannot be deleted - caused by a few possible reasons - and the normal one is it told you the file is being used by another program when in fact you don't even have any program running.

I use Unlocker on my netbook. It runs on Windows 7 starter. But recently I had problem using Unlocker when  I tried to unlock some files that cannot be deleted on my sister's laptop. I can install the Unlocker but it didn't appear when I right-clicked on the files.

I decided to look for another software. I found it and it is called LockHunter. It functions well on Windows 7 either the starter version or the full version - but I am not sure whether it works well too on Windows 8. LockHunter can be used on both x32 and x64 bits. I tried it and it is good.
