ForceDel

ForceDel is a command-line application designed to remove files that cannot be normally deleted because they are being used by other processes.

Forcefully delete files being used by other processes

Instead of tracking down these unknown processes to release the files, a simpler solution is to resort to this app, which performs this task automatically and spares you a lot of trouble. It features simple and straightforward commands that don't need too much experience with console tools.

Requires .NET Framework to work

Installing ForceDel isn't necessary. It comes packed in a single .exe file that can be saved anywhere on the disk, so you can call its process from a Command Prompt window with minimum effort.
However, you should make sure that .NET Framework is installed on the computer, otherwise the utility won't work properly.

Remove one or more files at the same time

The syntax is FORCEDEL [/Q] [/V] [/D] [Filename(s)], where /Q blocks any output messages (except for error dialogs), /V prints log information about the program's activities, and /D prints debug messages to identify and solve any problems.
It's possible to forcefully delete one or multiple files at the same time. If they exist in a different directory than ForceDel, don't forget to write their full paths.

Simple and practical tool for removing files by force

We haven't come across any issues in our tests, thanks to the fact that ForceDel didn't freeze, crash or show errors. It deleted files fast while consuming a low amount of CPU and RAM, so system resources were minimally used.
The syntax is intuitive and can be figured out with ease, even by those familiarized with graphical interfaces and inexperienced with console-based applications. All in all, ForceDel is quick and efficient when it comes to forcefully removing files that are being used by other processes.
