You can use an older tool like SYSTEM COMMANDER that was written for DOS. I have found a few "suspicious" files and could not delete / zip / or move them because of a FILE IN USE error... SYSTEM COMMANDER allowed me to delete it. I think you can find a copy on the web somewhere. It has been abandoned since 1986.
