LockHunter is a freeware program to force stop an application running on the Windows system because it is blocked by a certain process. Often we are in trouble when we want to uninstall or delete a file or a program, the cause is that the file is being used by another application. It's very annoying, isn't it if we encounter this and we don't know which program is using the file we want to delete.
This happens quite often while the file is still in use when you try to do so. Sometimes, it's obvious that the file is locked, for example if you play a video file in the media player while trying it an error will occur. Other times, it can be used by hidden processes that make you wonder what problems occur.
Lock Hunter is very useful against malware, and other programs that block a file for no apparent reason. It means that the file that you want to delete is running or being used. And can not be deleted before you close the program file. You can be sure what you do after that, must as soon as possible close all program files associated with the file.
But what if the file still cannot be deleted, even though you have closed the program file on your laptop or computer? One way is that you have to restart first. But this method is quite time consuming. Here's how you can do if you experience an incident like the one above. Namely by using a program of assistance below.
This program has been updated regularly since we reviewed it for the first time on their official website. Developers have added new features to the program, including the option to delete files at the start of the operating system which can be useful if files are locked in such a way that they cannot be deleted while Windows is running.
