Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the BBC file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the BBC file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file BBC to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the BBC file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
