But unfortunately, I just tested this method with a stubbornly locked USB HDD, it doesn't work when the “System” process is the culprit (I get this regularly, and neither ProcessExplorer nor LockHunter can close the handles associated with four system files in \$Extend\$RmMetadata\, and changing the drive's letter results in the same handles reappearing just a second later with the new letter). | |
