This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the WSG file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the WSG file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
