Hi, starbrizze.

Usually this message of files being in use is exactly that; the files are being used by an application, service, program or process. The software that is currently using the folder/file must be terminated before it can be modified.

If you have some particularly stubborn folder(s)/file(s) that need addressing, please provide more detail as the topic is a bit vague and open-ended.

Thanks, and welcome to Windows Forum.
