Solution 1

No..there is no other way to delete a file which is used by a process...cause it creates a lock over the file and no process is granted to update, delete or edit the file...

Solution 2

If the dll is in use by your program, there is nothing you can do.
If it's another program locking that dll, you should close that first.
