LockHunter (64-bit) for Windows

User Reviews

• BEST TOOL EVER

  pbeatJanuary 10, 2016

  Pros

  I had a wav file that I couldn't delete. I tried EVERYTHING. Maybe 20 or 30 different methods. Even cmd didn't show the file. Finally I found this tool and it deleted the file in 3 seconds. I would have STARTED here if I knew better. Anyone who has a file they can't erase start here.

  Cons

  There are not enough glowing reviews around the web so that I could have started with this first and not wasted days and hours trying to figure out my problem. Every one who owns a computer should have Lockhunter.

• Best for resolving problems ejecting USB drives

  whamjamerSeptember 7, 2013

  Pros

  works well simple

  Cons

  none so far

  Summary

  I use several passport 1T and 2T drives and would often get the error message that the drive was still in use when I've already closed all programs and wanted to remove the drives. I've tried other products to solve the problems in ejecting USB drives but this worked best for me.

  None that I could determine.

  I have several files that I cannot access for permission reasons of some sort and LockHunter did not help at all.

• Does exactly what I wanted it to very quickly

  Jboy65March 20, 2013

  Pros

  * Installation quick and painless * It's free * It doesn't appear to have any unwanted malware or pop-up's (so long as you do the "Advanced User" and override their coupon toolbar they try to install) * It quickly finds what processes are locking files or folders and gives some very helpful, intuitive options of what to do, including deleting the files, or what I wanted, which was to unlock the file by closing associated processes

  Cons

  * Not sure whether or not to call it a "con," but when I told it to end a system process, it wouldn't do it because of that, so I had to go do it manually. But hey, at least it told me which confounded process was locking the folder so I could actually do that, after which I went and moved the folder as I was trying unsuccessfully to do until I downloaded this software

  Summary

  Bottom line, if like me you get really frustrated when trying to move or delete a file or folder because Windows says it's in use, but you have no open programs and can't figure which cotton-pickin' process is locking it up, then get this little gem and the Heavens will open up and angels will sing!

• Works and runs great!

  ItsameJordanDecember 10, 2010

  Pros

  I had tried using some of the other unlocking programs like "Unlocker" and they were not running. This one worked as soon as I installed it.

  Cons

  None as of yet

  Summary

  In my limited experience, this is definitely the best unlocking program out there!
