I recently switched from an HDD to a SSD in a Windows 7 environment. Since then I regularly experience files or folders being locked from renaming or deleting. The lock may take minutes or hours - I'm unsure about it.

It's not a system lock caused by a running application or anything alike. I'm aware that I cannot edit/delete a file/folder while it's in use anywhere else. And I'm experiencing this problem ever since I switched to the SSD, so I'm pretty sure it's related.

Does an SSD cause such lock outs - due to caching or anything? Is there a way to unlock such files manually?

System: Windows 7 Home 64 / Samsung SSD 840 EVO 250G / ASUS Notebook with i7 CPU
