UnlockerTool is a lightweight software application designed specifically for helping you delete locked files and folders using a set of straightforward actions.Errors like ‘Cannot delete folder’ do not let you get rid of files stored on your system because they are being used by other processes.
Simple looks
The GUI looks clean and intuitive. A help manual is not included in the package but you can venture into tweaking the dedicated parameters on your own because they are easy to decode.
Deletion capabilities
UnlockerTool makes use of an Explorer-like panel for helping you browse throughout the content of your files and folders. On the downside, you are not allowed to drag and drop the locked files and directories directly in the main window, so you need to manually locate them.A single button is required in order to complete the deletion process. If you are not sure about the items that you intend to remove from your system, you can make the application send them to the Recycle Bin so you can recover them later on. The program is able to automatically handle the deletion process without asking for setting up complex settings.Tests have shown that UnlockerTool carries out a task quickly and without errors. It does not eat up a lot of CPU and memory resources so the overall performance of the computer is not hampered.
