How can I delete a file that is in use by another process?

I have the following c# code but it throws an exception on the call to the Delete method:

var dir = new DirectoryInfo(@"C:\mydirectory\");
dir.Delete(true);

The following exception is thrown:

The process cannot access the file 'C:\mydirectory' because it is being used by another process.

Is there any way to force it to delete this directory even though it's being used by another process?

Answer 1

no, not without stopping the other process
