You may disable the Explorer integration from the menu in the program interface as well in case you don't need it. If you need to add more, it makes sense to open the program directly instead and use the add files option to add all those files in one go. It appears that you can send only one file to the program this way. Right-click any file, and select the force delete option to send it to the program and use the interface to unlock and delete it from the system. The program adds a new context menu entry to Windows Explorer that you may use for that purpose. The second option that you have is to send files to Wise Force Deleter using Explorer. Simply click on the add files button, add one or multiple files to the program, and hit the 'unlock & delete' button afterwards to remove the lock and delete those files on the PC. You can block it by clicking on the down arrow icon in the upper right corner of the program window and disabling the 'check for updates' option there.įirst, you may open the program interface at any time and unlock them right from within that interface. It seems likely that this is linked to the program's update mechanism. Note: The program tries to connect to an Internet server on first start.

The program provides you with options to regain controls over locked files in two different ways. Wise Force Deleter works similarly to the grand daddy of file unlockers, Unlocker. While you may resolve the issue with a restart, it may be impracticable to do so for every file that you cannot change. While that is understandable, Windows sometimes locks files that are seemingly not open at all.

If you open a video file in VLC Media Player or an image in the photo app, you cannot delete, move or rename those files as long as they are open in those programs. As you may know, files are locked by the operating system when they are in use.
