Process monitor is a tool to monitor real-time file system.

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/procmon

It will tell you who is read/write these files.

I believe it will help you figure out who is locking this. Then you only have to stop related process and try todelete these files again.

You can try the following.

  1. look for the <.exe> file you are trying to delete in the task manager. if its there stop it and then try deleting your files.

  2. Look for dotnet.exe in task manager, if it is there, stop it, and then try to delete

For me it was dotnet.exe that was causing the issue, and I had it resolved by stopping it
