I have a directory under C:\Users\myuser\.ssh and I need to delete it but Windows won't let me.
From Windows Explorer:
From a Cygwin shell:
myuser@mymachine /cygdrive/c/Users/myuser/.ssh
$ rm -rf id_rsa
rm: cannot remove `id_rsa': Device or resource busy
Any ideas how to force this deletion?

Reboot once, and then delete it? Stop the process that's accessing it? What exactly have you tried already? – Ƭᴇcʜιᴇ007 – 2015-03-13T20:35:33.087
