Because open executables files can be moved or renamed but not deleted.

I did not see that in the OP' original post that it is an exe. In any case when the above happens it is usually a file that is in use from my limited experience

The file is open. Just as a test next time it happens reboot the computer and then go back and delete it. If then it deletes then the file was open. But I bet you that when you reboot and go to delete the file the said file will be gone
