Python - Unable to delete files from folder using python

I am getting the error while deleting the files in folder.
Below is my code.

Part-1 of coding

pdf = FPDF()
sdir = "D:/IMAGES/"
w, h = 0, 0

for i in range(1, 25):
    fname = (sdir + str(i) + ".jpeg")
    if os.path.exists(fname):
        if i == 1:
            cover = Image.open(fname)
            w, h = cover.size
            pdf = FPDF(unit="pt", format=[w, h])
        image = fname
        pdf.add_page()
        pdf.image(image, 0, 0, w, h)
    else:
        pdf.output(
            r"D:\DOCUMENTS\Google Drive\NewsPapers\Lokmat\Lokmat Mumbai Main "+str(d+A+Y)+".pdf", "F")
        pdf.close

Part-2 of coding

import os
dir_name = "D:/IMAGES/"
test = os.listdir(dir_name)

for item in test:
    if item.endswith(".jpeg"):
        os.remove(os.path.join(dir_name, item))

        print("Done")
print("--- %s seconds ---" % (time.time() - start_time))

Error I am getting is as below: 

PermissionError: [WinError 32] The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process: 'D:/IMAGES/1.jpeg'

My problem is solved now :)

Actually I used 

cover.close()

insted of 

cover.close

And I used this code before line

pdf.output(r"D:\DOCUMENTS\Google Drive\NewsPapers\Lokmat\Lokmat Mumbai Main "+str(d+A+Y)+".pdf", "F")

Try replacing this:

cover = Image.open(fname)
w, h = cover.size
pdf = FPDF(unit="pt", format=[w, h])

With:

with Image.open(fname) as cover:
    w, h = cover.size
    pdf = FPDF(unit="pt", format=[w, h])

Using with should help with situations where you may forget to close the file once you're done using it.

You forgot to write 

cover.close()

After the line: 

pdf = FPDF(unit="pt", format=[w, h])

Because of that, you still have an opened file and you cannot delete it.
