010041: Unable to delete <value> of <value>.

Description

There was a problem deleting the specified file from the specified dataset. If the file is being accessed by an ArcMap or ArcCatalog session, it will have a file lock placed on it and thus cannot be deleted. A file lock may also occur if the folder is being accessed by a system file explorer.

Solution

• Check that the specified dataset does exist at the location identified.

• Make sure that the dataset is not being accessed by another ArcGIS session or being viewed in a file browser.

• Check that you have the appropriate permissions for the workspace.
