It's actually quite simple to do
How do I fix the problem "Another program is currently using this file"?
Sometimes, while deleting a file on your Windows computer, you may come across an error message saying “The action cannot be completed because the file is open in a program”. When this error message appears, it means that you are dealing with a locked file and you cannot delete the file no matter what you do. Your PC will keep displaying the same error message on your screen to let you know that the file is in use by a program.
Dealing with such locked file errors is actually quite simple, although it may not seem so at first. You’ve probably already guessed that the reason you can’t delete the file is because an app on your PC is using it. How about closing that program and deleting the file?
There are several solutions like this that will help you successfully remove the locked file from your computer.
