The bugs and horribly slow hardware that caused the locks in NT/XP have slowly disappeared, by win 10, I rarely had any files I couldn't delete if I, worst case, made explorer reload. It used to happent o be every other day in the late 90s
The big file lock issue for me is when it is the file browser locking the file in order to give you a summary of it in the side bar, so you can't edit it, you can't rename it
