Error condition remote serve file 'in use'

HI I got this error: it seems the file trying to delete was in use. How would you explain this happening, since we only use the batch process now?

Is only explanation that someone was looking at this order at the moment the batch process was running?

Going further, what would you do to code to fix this issue?

Well, we can hardly explain that.
We do not know anything about your server.

Is it happening always, with some files, randomly, ...?

it happened one time only for past week. this means that someone was open that file is the only explanation?

Yes, I'd say so.

on the scp getfiles - can it have the delete portion put on a slight delay
or something like

session.GetFiles(RemotePath + "/" + fileInfo.Name, LocalPath + fileInfo.Name, ).Check();
// make some time delay for 5 seconds.

// now run to delete
session.GetFiles(RemotePath + "/" + fileInfo.Name, LocalPath + fileInfo.Name, true).Check();

Call the Session.GetFiles without the "remove" flag, wait 5 seconds, and then iterate the list of downloaded files returned by the function, calling Session.RemoveFiles for each.
