It happens that the folder unnecessary to us when you try to delete various errors and does not want to disappear from the computer. We hope that this is not a malicious software and consider a more common problem.

• Most likely, the folder is already used by another program. For example, I could not delete the Firefox browser, because I looked through it video on YouTube.

• A similar error will appear if you are trying to delete a folder with the music that you are listening now. Usually the problem is solved by closing the appropriate program. But sometimes it does not help. There is a difficult way to solve with the participation of the task manager, but we better turn to third-party software. Unlocker comes to the rescue. It is in general access and will not be difficult to find and download it on the Internet, since it is completely free. After installation, an additional item will appear in the context menu with the name of this application. My example using Iobit Unlocker, but the principle is the same. The program allows us to unlock the folder and do with it, anything.

• In Windows 10 explorer, compared with previous versions, a new item onedrive appeared. This is a cloudy Microsoft storage, built into the system. But you should not worry, delete folders and files in it the same.

Designers and engineers of the company reacted with understanding to ordinary users, leaving the most elements unchanged. Therefore, to use the "dozen" convenient and habitual. It is necessary to hope for further development with the focus on convenience and simplicity.
