Tried DOS and again THIS====>

C:\Documents and Settings\as\Desktop>del Form1.exe
C:\Documents and Settings\as\Desktop\Form1.exe
The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.

Soooo sorry for crowding the forum found the solution.I forgot my program works over explorer.exe so after re-checking my codes I closed explorer.exe from my process' (ctrl+al+del) after that i said new task wrote cmd got the command window running wrote "del Form1.exe"
and vola its gone forever...:) I just love happy endings
