How can I delete vbajet32.dll when access is denied?
Asked by

I'm having trouble with the vbajet32.dll file. Despite using the takeown command to take ownership, I still receive an "access denied" message when I try to use icacls to give everyone full control. Is there a utility or a PowerShell script that could help me delete this stubborn file?

You might want to try using Process Explorer. It allows you to see which processes are using the file and can help you force a delete. You can find it on the Sysinternals website. Just run it as an administrator, locate the vbajet32.dll in the list, and see if you can close any handles that are keeping it locked.
