I was getting this error The process cannot access the file 'C:\Bala\Code on October 21\Project\bin\Debug\DB\k.db' because it is being used by another process. i have not opened or used this process anywhere.

What have you done with it? How did you copy it? Have you tried without VS open?

What does that have to do with C#?
You are confusing me now - remember, I can't see your screen - I only get what you tell me...

After long struggle i myself found the code and executed.
Inside the Menu click created these method and executed.

C#

string msg = null;
ClearFolder(msg);
private void ClearFolder(string FolderName)
{
   string[] delete_files_2DData = null;
   string[] delete_files_Data = null;
   string[] datafile = null;
   try
   {
      delete_files_2DData = Directory.GetFiles(Environment.CurrentDirectory + "\\DB\\2DData\\" + Global.CreatedProjectName + "\\");
      string file = System.IO.Path.GetDirectoryName(Environment.CurrentDirectory + "\\DB\\2DData\\" + Global.CreatedProjectName + "\\");
      datafile = Directory.GetFiles(Environment.CurrentDirectory + "\\Data\\");
      string prf = "" + Global.CreatedProjectName;
      string rname = "" + "Run" + Global.RunOpend;
      foreach (string data_file in datafile)
      {
         string[] datafilpath = data_file.Split('\\');
         string[] finalpath = datafilpath.Last().Split('_');
         if (finalpath.Contains(prf))
         {
            File.Delete(data_file);
         }
      }
   }
   catch (Exception ex)
   {
      MessageBox.Show(ex.Message);
   }
}
