Releasing Windows file share locks

If you are admin on the server sharing the file over the network, you can use the Windows in-built feature:

  1. Start → My Computer → Right-click → Manage gets you to the Computer
    Management console
  2. In the left nav, navigate to Systems Tools → Shared Folders
  3. You can view Shares, Sessions & Open Files here. This allows you to find out who has opened which files from which workstations.
  4. Right-click on an item in the list to be able to remove the file lock.

Hope this helps.
