Using the "Delete file", "Delete files", and "Delete folder" commands by at end of a running wizard.
When using the "delete file(s)/folder" commands at the end of a running wizard, the Windows OS might prevent the delete-action due to the files being in-use/open.

Option 1: Manually delete the desired file/folder.
Option 2: End the wizard and start a new wizard with the "delete" command:
-
End the wizard to let it automatically close all the open and in-use processes/files/folders.
-
Create a new continuing wizard
-
Add the relevant "Delete" command at the beginning of the continuing wizard and configure it to delete the desired file(s)/folder.
-
End the wizard or use it to execute additional steps.
