The Process Cannot Access the File Because It Is Being Used by Another Process
It's a well-known fact that users can't modify a file that is in use. For example, if you open a video file in a media player, you will not be able to delete or rename it unless you delete the video file from the playlist or close the media player. A more tricky scenario is when you don't know which program is using the file and consequently, it will continue to warn you that the process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process. In this case, you can use a third-party program called Lockhunter to unlock it.
Step 1: Go to the official website of Lockhunter. Download and install it.
Step 2: Right-click on the problematic USB drive, select the What’s locking this folder? option.
Step 3: Within the locking processes section, select files/programs and then click on the Unlock it! button.
Step 4: After that, you will be able to modify the file.
