Cannot delete: Access is denied. Make sure the disk is not full or write-protected and that the file is currently in use.
Even though you know there’s plenty of free space in your hard disk and the file is not write-protected, the file in question is not open. No matter how many times you try to delete the file Windows always throws that message “Access denied”
