Having difficulty deleting PST file while outlook has handle

[lsman11]

I am trying to delete a PST file via File.Delete("..."), but it appears that outlook may have exclusive access to the file at the moment... even if i removed the PST from my outlook explorer (closed the PST)...

is there a way for me to force outlook, or at least the file itself, to be deleted? is there some sort of release function ?

thanks, lsm

You have to close Outlook to release the hook.
