Idk if its a toxic trait to give solutions even though no help was asked for, but I always used Sysinternals Process Explorer to find the culprit. You just search for the file that "is open" by another program, and voila, you can see what you need to kill in order to delete said file.
I haven't had this problem on linux though.

Which is what the error dialog should do for you. It does on Mac.

It isn't toxic to want to be helpful, especially on discussion boards like this. Someone who sees this post will get a benefit from your recommendation.
