can't delete file

I need a form to delete an image that is shown in a control, to replace with
another image.
I tried changing the archive that is showing the control, closing the form
and then deleting the old image, but there's an error
because the system says that the archive is in use.
I need to replace this image, someone knows a way to close conections to the
archive, or something like this?
Thanks

I've two scripts, one to upload images, another to delete them. The upload script works fine, but the delete script has permissions trouble. How can PHP not have permission to delete an image it itself uploaded? Here is the delete script I'm using right now, and the error messages I got below.

I have a directory with a lot of jpg files. I want to delete the small ones. Small means less than 100 pixels by 100 pixels. I use File.list() to get the list of files. I use ImageIcon(filename) to create an ImageIcon. I use getIconHeight() and getIconWidth(). then I try to delete the file if it meets the "small" test. I tried to use File.delete(), but most of the time this returns "false" and the file is not deleted. If I use...

When I write scripts for deleting records in databases, I tend to do it in this fashion: - delete link passes ID to a delete.aspx page - delete.aspx page queries db using that ID to retrieve the file information - page displays file information with a 'are you sure you want to delete' confirmation button. - upon clicking said button, I delete the record.

Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...
