I am using WIN7 and Office 2007.
I have several MSWord 2007 files saved under Document in Explorer Library. When I try to delete or change these files, I get a message that they are open in MS Word. They are not open; at least I cannot see them. All I want to do is delete some of these files.
Any suggestions will be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Eddie460

Boot to Safe Mode and ssee if you can delete them from there. Start your computer in safe mode - Windows 7

Install Unlocker, see if that will do it for you.
