Sysinternals Suite has a few tools that may shed light on this issue
http://sysinternals.com or
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-US/sysinternals
I recommend downloading the full suite
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb842062
Look at the "Handle" tool and Process Explorer then kill the process thats open or holding the handle to your file or use one of the other PsTools.
"Ever wondered which program has a particular file or directory open? Now you can find out. Handle is a utility that displays information about open handles for any process in the system. You can use it to see the programs that have a file open, or to see
the object types and names of all the handles of a program."
Other apps in the tool set to look at: *Process Explorer, Process Monitor, *PsKill, PsList, PsSuspend filemon, regmon. The full tool set is valuable at many levels.
After extracting Sysinternals zipfile navigate to the program directory. They issue the command
name
This parameter is present so that you can direct Handle to search for references to an object with a particular name.
For example, if you wanted to know which process (if any) has "c:\windows\system32" open you could type:
handle windows\system
Try handle E:\folder name to see what's is holding open your file.
The name match is case-insensitive and the fragment specified can be anywhere in the paths you are interested in.
