    You need the Sysinternals utilities to make life tolerable: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/handle https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/hand... from the command line or Ctrl-F in https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/process-explorer https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/proc... if you prefer a GUI. They do a brute-force search over the open handles in all processes, but it's effective.

      I prefer this utility: http://www.emptyloop.com/unlocker/ http://www.emptyloop.com/unlocker/ It lets you see which process locked a file, and optionally remove the lock.
