UPDATE locked file bug!

Please explain your issue is in as much detail as possible.
The game had been running without a crash for 3 days, then suddenly it crashed after a drop. When I tried to restart the game, I got a failed update claiming there was a corrupted filed. I uninstalled the game and reinstalled the game. It never finishes reinstalling, claiming there is a "locked file"! I am including a screenshot of the message and latest crash files.

Steps to reproduce the issue
Trying to launch game!

Well, a locked file is a system issue rather than a game bug.

You should try renaming or deleting that battletech_data folder , then running a Steam Verify operation to download a new copy of that folder.

Thank you for the replies. I had gotten an email that said the same thing. Both Windows chkdsk and STEAM Verify files failed to catch the corrupted file. I was able force CHKDSK (actually, the Win10 version) to delete it.
