Unlink of file Failed. Should I try again?

Question

Something wrong is going on with one of the files in my local git repository. When I\'m trying to change the branch it says:

Unlink of file \'templates/media         


        

Answer 1

After run command

git rm -rf foo.bar

I see error

Unlink of file 'foo.bar' failed. Should I try again? (y/n)

Because another program is using this file. For example, when I run Java web application in debug model or run web application on server, I can't delete log file. Turn off application sever (or turn off debug process), re-try

git rm -rf foo.bar

I see file has been deleted.
