Remove
Remove is a command-line utility which is similar to Delete and Erase, however unlike Delete and Erase, it skips over files which are locked by another process and continues deleting the desired files.
When Delete and Erase encounter a locked file, they stop with the following error message...
"The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process."
