   Any file which can't be deleted means that it's being used by an application   
   (i.e. it's still opened for reading and/or writing).   
      
   There's a tool to close opened file by other applications, and it can be   
   automated. But those applications would still think that the files is still   
   opened, and they may crash or freeze because of that.
