After importing a parquet file into Power BI desktop, the file remains locked. The file cannot be changed or deleted. Same beahviour after refreshing data from Power BI. The only solution is to close Power BI. Then, the lock on the file is released.
It seems to be a bug in the Parquet importer: it does not close the source file after reading it and the file remains open and locked.
I need to replace the file and reimport data into PowerBI. I would like to do it wihtout completely closing and reopening Power BI every time.
Errore trying to delete/rewrite the file from Windows File Explorer:
Any workarounds?

Hi @fhtino
How did you import parquet file ? Have you ever done an operation like this before? You can refer to the official documentation to do this and see if there are any problems.
