When a file is locked, it cannot be deleted – not by regular means, anyway. You’ll press the delete button and instead of deleting the file, the operating system will notify you that it cannot delete the file. Security company Malwarebytes has a free tool that can address this situation: Malwarebytes FileASSASSIN, a Windows tool that uses advanced techniques to help you remove locked files from your system.

A setup wizard will help you install Malwarebytes FileASSASSIN on your Windows PC. The steps it takes you through are presented in the Quick Look video that accompanies this article. Watch it to see that installing Malwarebytes FileASSASSIN on a Windows PC is an effortless task.

Malwarebytes FileASSASSIN is a simple tool with a simple interface (as you can see in the screenshots that accompany this article and in the Quick Look video as well). You’ll spend less than a minute going over the interface and figuring it out. Just as with the installation, figuring out this application’s UI is an effortless task.

And in keeping with the “effortless task” theme we’ve going on here, I have to tell you that using Malwarebytes FileASSASSIN is a simple 3-step process:
Step 1 – select the file you want to delete. Drag and drop it onto the interface or use the (…) button to locate and load the file.
