What it does

Unlock locked files

Close the handle that’s holding your file so you can delete, move or rename it instantly.

See what’s blocking it

Instantly identify which process or application is locking a file, with full path and PID.

Delete on next reboot

For files locked by the system itself, schedule a delete that runs before Windows starts.

Batch delete

Select multiple locked files or folders and clear them all in one action.

Right-click integration

Add “Force Delete” to the Windows Explorer context menu. Right click, done.

Works offline

No account, no cloud, no phone-home. Everything runs locally on your machine.

No ads. No bundles. No telemetry.

FAQ

Which Windows versions are supported?
Windows 10 and Windows 11, both 64-bit and 32-bit.
Do I need to install a driver?
No. PureUnlocker works entirely in user mode, so nothing is loaded into the Windows kernel.
Can it delete system files?
It can, but Windows protects critical files with additional layers. PureUnlocker will tell you when a file cannot be removed and offer the reboot option instead.
