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?

Use “RMDIR /S /Q” command to force delete a folder in CMD: After entering Command Prompt window, you can type the rmdir /s /q folder path, for example, rmdir /s /q E:\test, and press Enter key. This deletes the folder named “test” in my USB drive.
Open elevated Command Prompt in Windows 10. Type del + file path command, press Enter to force delete file. Type rmdir /s /q + folder directory, press Enter to force delete folder Windows 10.
no, not without stopping the other process
