Windows won't let you delete, move, or rename a file if a program is using it. Frustratingly, it also won't tell you which program is using the file so that you can solve the problem.

If you don't usually review dump files to troubleshoot problems, they are probably wasting valuable space – here's how to delete them on Windows 10.

Then I typed "fsutil reparsepoint delete <file name>" (without the quotes) then hit enter. I was then able to go back to the file and delete it normally. Not open for further replies.
