Hey Wayne, Not sure why the files get locked in the first place,
but it's happened to me a couple of times and i use Emco Move on Bot.

It's free, you just open the prog, browse, locate and highlight the file that won't delete and when you restart it's gone.

Good luck.

If you're using Windows you could use a program called Unlocker which is also free. Amazing program would highly recommend it. It allows you to delete, move, rename files that are being used by other programs by either killing the process or unlocking it.

A restart in safe mode might work?

Thanks to all reply's worked really well recommend it alot as it was the only thing to work thanks to sauron....

The strange thing was it was unable to locate file so l couldn't delete, rename, edit or move because it was unable to locate it yet l could see it.
