Eclipse can't delete lib.jar

When I try to clean my projects I am now getting two errors that stops the build process...

Could not delete: D:\myworkspace\library\bin\library.jar. Could not delete 'D:\myworkspace\google-play-services_lib\bin\google-play-services_lib.jar'.

I am running Eclipse as administrator on my Windows 7 computer.

I have been updating all of my libraries recently in order to use Google Cloud Messaging but I have no idea if this has anything to do with it.

If I delete the jar files manually, then start eclipse and clean it will run ok. But now I need to do this anytime I want to recompile.

I have googled this error but I can't find anything on it.

Thanks, Gary

When you get the error in Eclipse, try using Process Explorer or similar tool to try to determine what running process is holding on to that file.
