out of the blue, i suddenly was unable to delete my .ai files.
an error popped up saying that some other program was using it and i've closed all apps.

can't even move em. can't save over em.

read it happened in version 10 or something.

what to do in CS?

thanks,
ming

Ming, I had the same problem a while ago. Using Process Explorer as explained in this post worked for me.
