I just installed Elements 2018. I can delete a file but when it asks to delete it off the hard drive it tells me the file is locked. I have not had that problem in previous versions of Elements and I have no new equipment.

I shut the program and re-opened it and I can delete the files. Not sure what happened but it's working now.

It sounds like there may be some permissions applied to the file/folder that are preventing you from deleting the file. Are you running Mac or Windows?
