How can I delete a file that is in use by another process?
I have the following c# code but it throws an exception on the call to the Delete method:
var dir = new DirectoryInfo(@"C:\mydirectory\");
dir.Delete(true);
The following exception is thrown:
The process cannot access the file ‘C:\mydirectory’ because it is being used by another process.
Is there any way to force it to delete this directory even though it’s being used by another process?
no, not without stopping the other process
