How do you remove a winRAR file that is being used?

Answer:

Stop using it. It is possible that winrar is one of those programs that do not shut down when you click the "X" button, but instead minimize themselves to the system tray. If that is the case, look there and stop the program.

If that does not help, then some other program must have a lock on the file, and you'll have to find it or reboot.
