Why the *.db file can not be deleted?

I want to delete the *.db (thumbs cache) files located on "C:\Users\User
Name\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Explorer", i have taken owner the
permission, but unable to delete them using io.file.delete function, but the
CCleaner software can do it, why? thank you.

The tip "Access to the path
"C:\Users\Steven\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\E xplorer\thumbcache_sr.db"
is denied using the io.file.delete function.
I have gotton full permission, could you please try yourself?
thank you.

think it is by using FileMon.

You could use ProcessExplorer to find if some process has a handle to that
file, which would also prevent deleting it (now I think about it, that seems
the best thing to check for first).
