Deleting Microsoft access database

[Ahmed, Shakir]

I have a Microsoft Access database that I want to delete whether anyone
is using that file.

The database is already read only mode residing in a server, users are
opening in read only mode. I want to delete that file, I remove read
only check but could not delete that file.

Getting error message:
Cannot delete xxx : It is being used by another person or program.

Any help is highly appreciated.

Thanks
sa

You cannot delete a file someone has open, in read-only mode or not.
Disconnect the computer from the network. If that does not help,
reboot the computer.
