I performed some administrative updates to a database, and now I am trying to compact the database.&nbsp;&nbsp;I am getting an error returned saying that the database is &quot;opened exclusively by user....&quot;, and the computer is <b>MINE</b>.&nbsp;&nbsp;I close out of the database and in Windows Explorer I notice that the database is still locked, (with the .ldb opened.)<br><br>What can be the problem?&nbsp;&nbsp;
 
With millions of disclaimers implied, I have always just deleted the .ldb file if I KNOW that no one else is using the database.<br><br>
