love that windows wont let you delete a folder if a process is using something out of it.

but also it doesnt tell you which process IS using anything out of it.

"Process <name/id> is using something here. try again later"

is that so hard

Actually better yet,

"Process <name/id> is using something here"
With buttons "kill task", " try again", and "cancel" would be way better

@compufox I fully agree with this, and just to preempt some people who might be like "OH BUT YOU CAN JUST DOWNLOAD PROCESSUNLOCKER" like, yeah, sure, you can, but fuck, why doesn't the OS do this natively? Why isn't this just a fucking built in thing? Especially with how often windows programs just fuck up and keep holding onto folders/files when they've crashed/"quit"?

@Nine exactly my issue. I've ran into it like twice recently. Its so incredibly annoying, especially when it doesn't list a damn task thats locking the fucking files.

*shaking my laptop*
Let me DELETE shit windowssssSSSS
