How to Use ThisIsMyFile Utility

Step 1: Import the File to Delete

First, you need to bring the target file into the program. The easiest way is to simply drag and drop the file directly onto the program window.

• Method 1: Drag the file and drop it into the app window.
• Method 2: Click the […] button to browse and select the file via Explorer.

Step 2: Choose Your Action

Once the file is loaded, decide how you want to handle it. For truly “unkillable” files, we highly recommend using the reboot feature.

• Unlock: Keeps the file but kills the process currently using (locking) it.
• Delete: Sends an immediate command to wipe the file.
• Reboot & Delete (Recommended): If the file won’t budge now, this ensures it is 100% deleted during the Windows reboot cycle.

Step 3: Execution Options

Before finalizing, you can select safety or speed options based on your preference.

• Create Copy: Creates a backup of the file before deletion, just in case.
• Reboot immediately: Your PC will restart instantly to complete the deletion process.

Being able to solve a technical roadblock with a single drag-and-drop makes your workflow much more efficient.
