image not being released [modified]

hi to all, I have a grid view (ASP.NET 2.0) that displays a list of products, when i click the delete image the row is deleted, then in the RowDeleted handler i attempt to delete the products images folder. and i get a message say the directory is locked by another process. I assume the process is the browser, but i dont see why if the row is deleted. How do i get around this problem, so I dont have unwanted fs directories laying about. this is my code

protected void gridProducts_RowDeleted(object sender, GridViewDeletedEventArgs e)
{
if (e.Exception == null)
{
string code = (string)e.Values["ProductCode"];

  string path = SiteConfiguration.ProductImagesUploadDirectory;
  path = Server.MapPath(path);
  path = Path.Combine(path, code);
  
  if (Directory.Exists(path))
  {
    Directory.Delete(path, true);
  }
}

}

kind regards, g00fy

I don't think it's the browser, but you can use the SysInternals tools[^] to check which application/process is holding the directory.
