It is probably more safe to schedule the deletion of a locked file for the next reboot using Boot Deleter (also from softpedia)

for those file that you are not sure off, it's safer to schedule to delete on next reboot. but most of the time, we already knew explorer is the culprit (try to access the file information, or get the thumbnail). why stop everything and reboot if you can solve the problem right now?

unlocker will also tell you what process is accessing the file, so you can always be sure it's not harmful.

If explorer.exe is the offending process, which it is in most cases, you can open a command prompt, kill explorer.exe, delete the file/folder from the command prompt, and relaunch explorer.exe as an alternative to the application mentioned above.
