I just spent an hour with the same problem. The problem for me arose when i unwittingly killed a process by closing the shell (when the script was running a while loop and timer), while a db journal temp file was still opened. Windows does not kill the process even though you have killed it in Python, regardless if you have used db.close() or finalize in the script; if you exit all Python apps there will still be one running in the Task manager.

Hence you will need to end all Python processes in Windows Task Manager, restart them, and it should be fine(if that is actually the cause of the problem).
