This means that the file is still being held open. For example, this could mean that you
still have vestigial traces of the process. If the process is stopped in the debugger, it
hasn't terminated so the handles it has opened are not closed. You must (a) make sure you
have truly exited the program, and are not sitting in the debugger and (b) the process is
truly gone.
And no, you can't delete the file if it is still open,
