i wanted to delete this graphic that i made in adobe. but i couldn't. a msg said that i should go to windows explorer and go to properties and choose 'unlock' so that i could delete it.

how do i choose unlock? I went to the folder where i saved it and then right-click on the picture and go to 'properties'. but there's no unlock. how do i unlock it?

then i opened up windows explorer and opened up my folder and go to the place where i saved it. i did the same thing. i still couldn't delete it.

help please.

it might be right click then uncheck the 'read-only' check box. or if another program is using the same file you'll get some message saying that the file is locked'

but the file is not 'read-only' i've checked it and the only box that was check is the 'archive'. if another program is using it, how do i check which one is the prgram?
