Well some other program might be using that particular file you are trying to delete. In this case OS does not allow to delte the file untill the other program finished its processing.
When ever a program/person opens a file, OS marks its attribute flag to "OPEN", so no other program of file can access or delete it. To delete the file you have to close the program using that file.
