SMB files can't be deleted
I'm using SMB to play video, after closing the third party player, the "steaming" notification is also gone, then I try to delete this video file, it can't be deleted.
Error is "The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.".
This error is also happened on image file, I don't need to open the image file, the snapshot is displayed on where the file icon is, it also can't be deleted when I try to delete it.
I'm using another file manager named FX, it works without any problem.

There is some cases where if I close the streamed file too quickly after it first opens, that it'll lock the file.
For example, I forgot which episode I'm on, I quickly open a few to see if I've seen it, and close. The file will be locked. Where as if I open a file and watch till the end and close, it won't lock.
Solution for the locked file is to open up the task manager, and swipe away solid explorer and the video player app.
Hopefully this will be fixed. -

I have problems deleting files over SMB too, however the error is too generic.
