Visual Studio 2015 Team Explorer error write access denied comes and goes

Question

I have a school group project on TFS and working with VS 2015. I can connect to Team Explorer and sync up with the solution just fine. However when I start working on my local version I get the 'Save As' pop up box when I attempt to save code I'm working on just recently. That save as pop up shouldn't happen. I can also see the file inside the pop up, but I'll attempt to go ahead and save it, but when I do I get this error message, "The process cannot access the file '' because it is being used by another process" or I will see this error message 'An error occurred. Detailed message: for writing: Access is denied."

I also get the Access is denied error on Team Explorer when I attempt to undo changes on that particular file.

The crazy thing is that this isn't a consistent issue, after a minute or so I can save the file just fine and move on.

Any help would be appreciated on this annoyance?

Note: I have tried going into the file explorer path of the file and remove it (and allow team explorer to pull it back down from server) but once i get into that last folder, File Explorer closes...

Please checkout the deleted local branch first and try to sync again in your local git repository.
