Win32 Errror，无法删除文件而不会出现错误

Question

So my code is basically designed deletes a file if incorrect data is entered. However it doesn't work, surprise surprise.

Here's my code for the deleting segment:

except ValueError:
        print("Something went wrong")
        file = open(username + ".txt", "w")
        file.close()
        import os, sys
        os.remove(username + ".txt")
        break

and this is the error that I retain:

WindowsError: [Error 32] The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process: 'newtext.txt'

Any help would be great thanks :D

I think you have got the text file open in a word processor such as notepad. When running your Python script close the word processor beforehand and your code should work properly. If this does not solve the problem then please give more details and I will try to help you to fix the problem.
