For some reason when I try to delete a RAW file I get an error stating that this file is in use
I have tried killing a ton of processes after rebooting didnt help
Anyone experience this and know what process is keeping these buggers locked?
I have CS2, Bridge DPP and Lightroom beta installed on XP

Yup I amde this a poll for folks could get a perverse sort of enjoyment out of my toils

Thanks

yes, more than likely it's probably Windows Explorer (explorer.exe). This happens to me quite often, but normally with TIFFs rather than RAW files.

I think it's to do with Windows Explorer having the file open when it reads info about the file and creates the thumbnail.

I get around this bissue y having the files in a folder then just delete the folder once I am finished.

Cheers,

David

Uninstalled all Canon stuff (except for DPP) and Adobe Bridge, Album starter (that they pushed with an update) and I could finally delete files!
I think it was Adobe Album starter garbage. I think the problem started after I saw that.
Thanks for the help!
