Unable to Delete file - File is locked for shared use by me

[gumgih]

Hi,

I have created a flow to read excel file from the Sharepoint site and push records into SQL Database, and after insertion, I want to delete the existing file from the SharePoint location. but getting error as "File is locked for shared use by me".

Attaching screenshots for the same. can anyone please help to load excel data via some other methods or resolve this error?

Thanks,

Mayank

Hello Gumgih,

From the error message, it seems that file is locked for shared use so you couldn't run the flow to delete file. 

Firstly, would you go to the Sharepoint site to check whether you have full permission for file deletion which should be the main cause. They you could directly access Sharepoint site for file deletion operation to check whether it would work.
Please raise an escalation if issue persists while you have confirmed full permission granted and file could be manually deleted from SP end.
