Hello. I have found that under Windows file locks are not always released when a file is closed and the only way after this to release a file lock is to reboot the system. Sometimes file locks seem to clear on their own, other times I have to restart the computer to release a file lock (sometimes even this does not work).
If you are on a UNIX based system try running lsof and grep for the name of the file. Part of the information you will get will be the id of the process that has the file open. You can then go to that process and release the file or terminate the process (either should release the file lock). Hope this helps.
