GWT plugin update problem - How to delete Eclipse Helios 3.6 - help

I tried to delete the Eclipse Helios 3.6 with GWT plugins manually as I usually did with other eclipse IDEs but now I faced a strange problem. A warning window opens which says...

"Cannot delete resources file. Access denied"

So it makes unable to proceed the deleting pressing OK :(

So how to delete Eclipse Helios 3.6?

I want to share my problem and my final solution...

The problem was because the Eclipse Helios 3.6 internal GWT plugin update error (so the UI Designer doesn't work). I was trying to update gwt plugins and that made gwt never compile...

So I had to delete it and reinstall. The reinstallation was OK but since then I tried to download gwt plugin for many times and had the same UI editor error... I think there is a bug in included gwt plugin GWT UI core and window builder.

If someone faces the same problem please read next...

To install GWT for Eclipse Helios 3.6 you should

A) Install GWT UI Designer first from http://dl.google.com/eclipse/inst/d2gwt/latest/3.6

B) Only then Install GWT SDK and gwt plugin (to skip the bugged plugin part to be installed)

otherwise if you start from this link http://dl.google.com/eclipse/plugin/3.6, it will install a bugged GWT window builder and core (the newest one) and won't allow you to install the correct one because "the newest is already installed" so you'll have to delete and reinstall etc... That's a real headache %) So to avoid that follow point A then B.

I hope that will save ones day :)

Good luck

Unlocker can help see what program has a particular file locked, like joeslice's link, and it can also force that program to relinquish the file handle (which of course could cause bad things to happen in said program so make sure you know what you're doing).

try to start your computer in safe mode: when you turn on your computer, push F8(5 times to be sure that it'll work) and after choose safe mode. You'll be able to delete your files
