Getting errors when trying to save the file on SharePoint/OneDrive - I believe it's because the files are still being uploaded from a previous save.

 

Feedback Type:
Frown (Error)

Release:
November 2025

Product Version:
2.149.911.0 (25.11)+a5b156d105cd1dad3d9d2157897b7c59587775fe (x64)

Error Message:
An error occurred while saving the Power BI Project files. The target folder might be corrupted. Please try again or choose a different location. The process cannot access the file 'C:\Users\xxx\definition\pages\6b4e539dc2b184e78197\visuals\42b29596c07d94adc534\visual.json' because it is being used by another process.
