cannot access file - used by another process. (error 32)

I am trying to use cffile to delete files off our intranet server (running IIS). It seems like there is a lock on these files. Any ideas on how i can remove the windows hold on these files. I am 100% sure that no one else is using them.

-error message-------------------------------------------
Unable to delete the file 'c:\Intranet\Text_Files\test.txt.' The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process. (error 32)

The error occurred while processing an element with a general identifier of (CFFILE), occupying document position (154:3) to (156:7).
__________________________________________________
the code is really simple:
<cffile action = "delete"
file = "c:\Intranet\Text_Files\test.txt">

I have been working on this for 5 days now.

Thanks.

Perhaps it's more of a browser to windows security problem.

I've been working on making an applet that attempted to gain access to a users harddrive, but the security in the java applets and java webstart, together with the browser security wouldn't let me through.

Maybe there is a browser setting you can adjust?

Sorry I can't be of more help.
