Very early report of this with little supporting info but thought i would document this as I lost a lot of time yesterday due to it

I have recently been busy with a site and found that some directories (and i think in 1 case a file) , once created became locked and could not be deleted or renamed locally throwing this message in Windows

I tried various solutions offered by Google to no avail and finally downloaded Microsoft Process Explorer which showed that Wappler had placed locks on several files and folders.

This was confusing as I had tried closing Wappler in case of that possibility and even a reboot did not seem to resolve it

I finally identified that these locks are present even when just the tray icon process was active (which of course opens automatically on restart)

Closing the tray icon appears to release those locks allowing delete/ rename

So if anyone also hits this issue,. the solution is easy, close Wappler COMPLETELY including tray icons to rename/delete locked files
