    ok i have a problem i downloaded some brushes of DA and after looking at all them i decided i didnt like two of them, i had not put them into photoshop i had only just unzipped the folder and viewed the images in te folders created. so when i tried to delete them a box came up and said something like could not delete as they were in use? now i no for a fact i was not using them? so i deleted the contents of the folders (the brush file and examlpes manually) and after that tried to delete the empty folder but still the same message appeard which is really wierd as they cant possibly be in use as they are empty??
    I have also checked them for viruses so no problems there....
    so if any one has a clue on how to delete the two folders i will be really thankful :S


    i also cannot move these folders....

    You don't have to restart...
    It happens to me alot and i get it to work without rebooting.

    Make sure anything to do with the brushes or anything related to it isn't running in the processes tab of your task manager.
    (so perhaps if you have photoshop open close it because the brushes are part of it)
