Hey

I have seen in various forums that OneDrive keeps a handle on certain files while syncing which will prevent a delete or move. But to be sure, head on over to the Windows Sysinternals site and download Process Explorer. It will allow you to see which program has the file locked.

This will allow you to make a more informed decision as to what to do. If it is a non-essential application, then you can uninstall just that app. Windows 10 is really a great OS and while I agree that there are some growing pains, I am mindful that there will always be such things especially with new releases.

Good luck!

The inability to delete a PDF file was also a problem in Windows 8 and continues in Windows 10. The problem is associated with use of the Preview Pane in Windows Explorer. There are 2 workarounds:

1. In Windows Explorer, turn off the Preview Pane.
   (Alt+P, or click'Preview Pane' in the Windows Explorer tool bar.)
2. If that doesn't work, use SHIFT+DELETE to permanently delete the file. (Caution: You won't be able to un-delete).

This bug only affects PDF files. Other file formats delete without issues in Windows Explorer.

Your solution to reboot the machine is a standard 'tech support' reply and rarely works. I also don't see the point as logging in as an admin as he should be able to delete his own files.

The correct solution (preview pane issue) is listed below and is clearly a bug in the operating system.

Switching off the preview pane does not work for me (and nor does rebooting). Fortunately I don't delete many .pdf files so I get round this by jabbing repeatedly at the 'try again' button and eventually it works. Annoyingly if I have selected several .pdf files to delete simultaneously, this method only picks them off one at a time so a lot of jabbing is required. Not very 21st Cenury.

Whenever I am forced to do this I miss my Apple!

A fix would be appreciated.

Thanks. tried, it is 'disabled' before i do anything.

Also before this page, there is a box to tick 'clear history', also ticked. No use.

However, my files are saved in NAS. Is it a problem source?

The other PC with lower window versions eg Windows 7, do not have this problem.

Anyone have any answers? This is problem with Window or problem with Adobe?

• 2Using another PDF viewer
  • 2.1Using a PDF viewer plugin

Firefox includes a built-in PDF viewer that allows you to view almost all PDF files found on the web without a plugin. The built-in PDF viewer is enabled by default.

PDF Viewer toolbar functions

• View document thumbnails or outline - The slider button on the far left will open a sidebar with thumbnails of the document's pages. Some documents will also have an outline view available. These make it easy to navigate through a long document.

• Page up and down or skip directly to a page - You can use the up and down arrows to page through a document or enter the number of the page you want to go to.

• Change the size of the document - Use the + and - buttons to zoom in and out or choose a zoom setting from the dropdown menu.

• Fullscreen or Presentation mode - Click the fullscreen button to allow the PDF file to take over your entire screen. Press ESC to exit fullscreen mode.

• Print - Click the Printer button to open the print setup dialog.

If some PDF files don't render well or are blank, click the download button on the right side of the document header to open it with the default PDF viewer application on your computer.

• If you can't open any PDF files with the built-in PDF viewer, a Firefox extension could be the cause. You can disable all your extensions, to see if one of them was the problem. For details, see Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems.

You can use a different PDF viewer instead of the built-in PDF viewer, if you prefer. To change from using the built-in PDF viewer to another PDF viewer:

2. Select the Applications panel.In the General panel, navigate to the Applications section.
3. Find Portable Document Format (PDF) in the list and click on the entry to select it.
