Hi FlavioMeneses,

This error mostly happens when OneDrive/SharePoint is still syncing the PBIR files in the background, and one of the files gets locked for a few seconds. Because of that, Power BI is not able to finish the save.

As a quick workaround, try saving the report once to a normal local folder not inside OneDrive/SharePoint. If that works, pause the OneDrive/SharePoint sync for a little while and then try saving again to your original folder. This usually avoids the file-locking issue.

Hope this helps if you have any queries we are  happy to assist you further.
Regards,
Community Support Team.
