Snitch is not deleting certain items. Why not?

0

Deletion issues have several common causes. Firsly, due to the new permissions system in Windows Vista you may need to make a change to allow normal file deletion. If you right-click on the Snitch icon and choose Run As Administrator then any deletion problems should be resolved. You may be able to set this permanently by going into the Right Click -> Properties submenu of the Icon. If that is not the cause, deletion failure usually happens when another process has locked the files for its own use and the system cannot delete them until the lock is released. Perhaps a spyware or virus scanner, maybe a system process has it locked. Try shutting down any programs that might have hold of the files. Also close any Windows Explorer Windows that are showing the directory as these can prevent deletion. If you cannot determine what is locking your file(s) visit this URL: http://ccollomb.free.fr/unlocker/ and download and install the free utility, ‘Unlocker’. Use Windows Explorer to find a file
