Cannot delete file off server. This is a ntbackup file that I need to delete. The error is access is denied the source file may be in use. Usually this is a permission problem. The weird thing is that I don't have a security tab to go to, so that I can check permisssions. Any ideas!!! Brad

its saying its in use so make sure that no app is accessing the file. check task man to see whats running. If you cant see it just reboot and then you will be able to delete

Thanks for the help. I could delete the file once I rebooted the server. I did have full control of the share and of course the drive is ntfs.
