Hi there Ari,

Sorry you're running into this! Is this something you encounter often? Restarting your computer and working locally are the best things to start with.

Some automated backup programs and file sharing programs can momentarily lock files. If you see this error message again, reboot your computer and temporarily disable all backup and sharing programs. If that seems to help, re-enable the backup and sharing programs. 

If this is something you see often and it's slowing you down, I'd like our Support Team to weigh in on this. You can reach out to the team here, and they'll investigate further!
