The quickest way to resolve an inability to delete a file from your hard drive, due to the "access denied, the source file may be in use" error is to first try restarting your computer and attempting to delete it a second time. If that doesn't help, pull up the command prompt by clicking Start, Run and typing cmd then clicking OK. For help using the command prompt, see reference link below.
