Hi Community,

I am unable to Bulk-edit epub meta-data in Calibre for several days now. I select several epubs that I have added into Calibre from a folder on my laptop, then I click on "Edit Metadata" and click "swipe title and author". However every time I do this Calibre gives me an error message as follows: "error 32 'Deletefile'. The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process"

I have turned off my anti-virus, uninstalled Calibre 64bit and reinstalled Calibre 32bit but nothing works. I have no storage devices plugged to my laptop so I don't know what software can possibly be processing my epub files when I try to edit the metadata. I don't understand.

I have some screenshots of these problems, please can someone help? Please can anyone help ?
