[Click] question about error in uninstalling

[Shilpi Agarwal]

Hi!!

Thanks for your quick response.When an element has a running task, can cleanup
method in that element be called before that task even finishes...i guess this
is the reason my program is hanging because i am trying to delete something in
cleanup which is being accessed by my task. Is it possible ?? And if it is the
case how can i make cleanup method to wait or that task to finish ??

Thanks
Shilpi
