Unable to remove file handle on windows server

  • 772

I have a file on a windows share which is locked. I cannot move or delete the file.

I found the file handle with ProcessExplorer and tried to delete it. Unfortunately I get the error messeage:

Error opening process: Das Handle ist ungültig.

The guilte process is the System process. Guess it's not a god idea to kill this process.

Any ideas how to release the lock on the file without restarting the server?

    Have you tried releasing the handle using Share and Storage Management?
