I was in the middle of saving a document when my computer crashed. If I now
try to delete this document, it tells me that I can't because it may be in
use by another person or program.

I've rebooted my computer and don't have any applications open and I still
can't get rid of it.

Any ideas please?

Thanks.

I've tried that and deleted all the tmp files I could find but the document
is still locked.
any other ideas?

Have you restarted Windows?

Yes, several times - this file was created a couple of days ago.
