I found a similar question here but it was closed/accepted with an answer of "don't do that".
I'm in a situation where I don't care what happens to the other applications, I want to take a file that may be locked by others (rudely if needed) and have my way with it. I may need to move, rename, or delete this file.
Basically I need to process files in a directory that is created by an app that doesn't clean up it's locks. I know the app is done processing when mine calls, but I need to kill the locks when I run. In addition it seems I'm conflicting with reads from local AV software scanning the remote share where the server is.
All this adds up to an unresolvable "force close" situation so I can do what I need. Does anyone have an idea on what to do?
