unable to delete a folder on Windows 2003 Server

[The_Unbeliever]

On our server we got a folder which we want to delete, but is unable to as some process or program is holding it hostage.

Is there some sort of utility with which you can check which program or utility is holding said folder hostage?

TIA

Look at the Windows Sysinternals tools at http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/cb56073f-62a3-4ed8-9dd6-40c84cb9e2f5.aspx

Check out the Handle tool.

Use killbox

if you want to see which process is using the file, use process explorer

use file assassin or unlocker
