Happily, there's a small and almost life-changing app called Unlocker which, as its name suggests, allows you to take back control over your files and permissions. Say goodbye to annoying cannot-delete-files errors We've all been there, and admittedly, having vague errors like 'Cannot delete file: Access is denied.', or 'The file is in use by another program or user.' or 'The source or destination file may be in use.' thrown in your face is not the least enjoyable.
