File is in uses when trying to delete

[dwuanei]

Good morning all. I've got a 2k PC that is saying "File is in use" whenever I create a file and then try to delete it. I've checked all that I can to verify that the file is not open but unless I reboot it won't let me delete. The same PC from time to time will say "path not valid" when browsing network drives. This PC is on a Novell network with the 4.9 Client. Any info would be much appreciated.

Thanks

When Client File Caching is Enabled on the server, clients requesting the
same file can cause an oplock error.

At the server, there is are some set commands:
Set Client File Caching Enabled = Off
Set Level 2 OpLocks Enabled = Off

Thanks for the input. The problem is that this is only happening to one client, so that almost eliminates the chance of it being server related. I tried the suggestion to delete ~*.* but no luck there. Any other suggestions?
Thanks

I'm getting a host of other errors relating to this one. The newest is: File is in use by another program
