Hi All ,

We developed a plugin on top of eclipse . We gave a option for users to remove their old projects in eclipse .

Issue :
If a file is opened on this directory or any process using their directory on delete operation will be the problem . This issue is specific for only windows users .

Is there any way to force delete a directory on windows?

How can I notify to users like this “This process is using our directory . Please close this process and proceed” .

Is there any way to know which process is accessing this?

You can use Unlocker, it has a portable version and commandline options (depending on its license) you may be able to ship it with your plugin and use it via commandline to unlock the used files.
