Hi,
I have some database files (.MDF, .LDF,...) on the server. When I try
to delete them, the warning "Cannot delete file: There has been a
sharing violation. The source or destination file may be in use."
appears.
Since I am new to the environment I don't know where the files come
from and where they might be used.
Can anybody tell me what to do to delete those files?
Thank you.

Yes, because my chef wants me to delete them and I don't know how.
At some moment during this operation you might have had an inkling it is
not a good idea to delete files that are apparently in use. You might
consider discussing this with your chef: is it sound approach to just do
away with files even when they are being used?

Ruud de Koter.
PS. I am from a very liberal culture, nobody will be surprised if I
question my chef's ideas. I know it doesn't work that way everywhere,
but in cases like this it seems worth the trouble.

And what exactly is that supposed to do other than waste the poster's time?

Fix the problem. Half the time, with Windows, the correct solution to a
problem is a reboot. This is one of those times.

Thanks, I will try Handle.exe.
But that is the wrong way. The right way is to drop the databases.
Would you mind NOT posting that in an Oracle newsgroup?!?

Only to those who are clueless.
This is one of those times.
No, this is clearly one of those times when that would almost certainly NOT
work.

Totally clueless.
If you don't know then just keep quiet instead of posting totally misleading
advice that may (probably) cause business outage to the OP.

these are files associated with a SQL Server database - you need to isolate
the database and if you don't need it anymore then DROP DATABASE it through
SQL Server management tools

If you saw a pan of potatoes cooking on the stove would you lift it up and
put it in the bin?
No, they are in use and as such there is a purpose.
Find out what database these are for, undoubtedly it will be some important
database.
