Error when editing metadata - Old file/folder can't get deleted

[Googa]

Hey,

when I edit the metadata of a book, it generates a new folder with the new name, but can't delete the original folder. There is always an error message that the file is already in use and can't be deleted.
I tried everything, checking permissions of the library folder, restarting calibre, restarting windos...
Every time after editing something in the medadata like the name of the book, the old folder stays in the library folder. I can delete in manually then(it's not blocked in Windows) and just keep the new updated folder, but it's a lot of work.

Any idea whats causing this error?

That error means some other process is accessing files in the calibre library at the same time as calibre. Typical culprits are antivirusd programs and file sync programs such as dropbox.

Thanks for the help.

I copied the Calibre and the Library folder to another computer and it works.

Maybe it's the antivirus, as I tested it on a company laptop, which is quite restricted.
