Anyone who has to use Windows and suffers this, PowerToys is your friend. Locksmith identifies what’s locking your file and allows you to free it up. Dunno why PowerToys isn’t bundled by default tbh.

PowerToys give the user more power, which goes directly against Microsoft’s own goal.
Also, less seriously, “toys” implies the user might enjoy the experience, and you know they can’t let that happen.
Shut up. It is literally made by Microsoft. As a place to experiment what to include in Windows. Don’t argue with strawmen
Shut up. I also think power toys that feature basic functionality and have been around for decades should be included in Windows. I can’t always install this on a computer that needs it.
Shut up. I agree with you it should be included in windows, I just wanted to feel included
Can’t you literally delete an open file and its fine?
Meanwhile chromeOS had a stroke because I asked to set a wallpaper
ChromeOS is so funny because it’s either way too anal about what you can do or there’s a part they forgot to harden against end users and the power of linux spews forth with endless destructive potential
Windows, too. Turns out, there’s a hard-coded image size limit. If you’ve got a ~5k screen or bigger, or equivalent size virtual desktop with multiple monitors - you gotta find a way to compress it below limit. Nope, webp is not accepted, even though it is perfectly capable of using it.
VLC: Sure, just move the podcast you’re listening to in another directory while listening.
Any program can do that assuming they keep the file open. Its an OS thing.
mv: cannot move 'a' to 'b': Device or resource busysudo?
sudo!
sudo !!
Or just always use root user for everything
Had a call to sort an issue where someone couldn’t open an excel file because they already had it open don’t know why that needed a warning over a simple window switch to the sheet they wanted but hey stopped me doing what I was doing for nothing
You also can’t open two spreadsheets that have the same filename. I’m sure that’s led to a helpdesk call or two.
Yeah, needing to use Microsoft Office for everything at work is a damn pain. This one time I am trying to close Word, but then I must have clicked the top right X one too many times so the “You can’t close Word until the Closing… dialog is dismissed” dialog pops up, which itself interrupts the Closing dialog…
