| | | | When I try to remove Drive F at the Computer window, or from the taskbar, it
says "can't remove, in use by another program".
This became an issue after I ran Windows Backup for the first time. Earlier
backup was the Acer version. Acer's version backs up C partition and
records on D. Windows backed up C and D and recorded on external drive F.
How do I determine which program is preventing me from safely removing Drive
F?
Should I delete the Windows backup and use Acer's backup program
exclusively?
How do I delete the Windows backup?

Do you have any shared folders on the external drive? If yes, then you'll
have to "unshare" them before you can safely remove the drive.

Please let me know how to identify these. I did a search for "shared
folders" on drive F and came up blank. --thanks--

In the Start search box type
manage
Click on Computer Management. Expand Shared Folders then click on Shares. If
you see any shared folders on the external drive right click and pick Stop
sharing.
This is unlikely to be the cause though. If you had shared folders on the
drive you would already know about them.

Did not see a stop option when I right clicked on F.
