Hey TECHNICAL INSIGHT, thanks for reaching out to our Community.
Can you try to close any files or apps/programs that might be accessing your files?
Then, please end all active processes in Task Manager (Windows) or Activity Monitor (Mac).
As a last step, restart your device, and make sure to quit any applications that launch automatically on startup.
