Allows you to delete files which are currently in use.
LockHunter is a small utility which lets you delete files which are currently in use by your operating system.
From the main interface of LockHunter, select the file which you would like to delete and click either "Delete It!" or "Unlock It!", the latter if you'd like to do something else with the file.
The program is a pretty simple concept, but can certainly lessen the headaches of virus hunting or simply when you want to remove a stubborn file from your hard drive.
