File Locksmith Shows You Which Application is Locking A File and Lets You Terminate It

Published:

Ever tried to do something to a file in Windows and get an error that a file is in use by some random application and it doesn’t tell you what it is? If so, you can use File Locksmith from PowerToys to see which application is using the file and it also gives you the option to kill it.

Not much too it―just right-click the locked file and terminate it as needed.
