Q: 

How do I unlock a folder programatically in .Net?

Basically I want to do what Unlocker does, only from code. I want to unlock all access to a folder (and files under it / subfolders), so I can subsequently delete it.

+2  A: 

You could just run Unlocker from your .Net app.

+1, probably the best option id the OP doesn't want to waste time...

@Marcus, does Unlocker have a command line interface? Also, I found it not to work on 64 bit systems, I'm using LockHunter instead.

Yes, enter `Unlocker -H` for command line options. Not sure about 64bit versions.
