How to kill a process that is not even listed in task manager?
Hi, I'm having a problem to kill a process. For your information, the process is not even listed in the task manager. I would like to delete that particular file, but it seems like there's a process of software currently associated with that file.
When i try to rename, move or delete that file, an error came out saying:
"Cannot deletefilename:It being used by another person of program.
Close any programs that might be using the file and try again."
For your information later, i am remoting this computer from my site.
I don't know wether by restarting the server would solve this problem, as if that the only one thing i wouldnt want to do.
Is there any other way?
When i check there is no other user login to this server, only me. And there also no session and local session in the particular server.I always Log Off properly when i want to quit from that server.
I've been trying to search through the internet but none. The process is even not in the task manager process. Is there any other way to see how to check/view process that are running? Else than using the task manager?
Thanks!
Yes i do have, which i also login as a Administrator.
What i know, something process is using the file. But i cannot find which process, because it is not listed in the task manager.
Is it by restarting the server would solve the problem? which means, all the process that holding to that file will be release?.. But i know this is not the solution that i want too.
I did try to make a research with command prompt taskkill, but that woulnd't help much.
I tried the software in my PC before. It's a good software, which it detected all process that associated by one entity. And it also has a function 'Find' where we can use it to search a process by its file name, process or even extension name.
I will try it first, than i'll tell you the result wether it solve my problems or not. Many thanks!!
Hey Chuck247,
Since you already downloaded the software, and use it there should be no problem.
I dont know wether my problem is similar with you. My problem is, i'm trying to delete a file, but i got a error message telling something is holding that file. I can't see it from the taskbar. If your problem is the same like me, what you can do is when you open the software, you can see a tab name Find at the toolbar. Under Find there would be a Find Handle. Basically go to Find > Find Handle.
Write down the file name/file extension name/part of the file name and click Search.
At the same window or the other window, will be display the result where it willl highlight the file. At the other window, right click on that file and choose Close Handle.
Try this, see wether it solves your problem.
Kind Regards,
