Hi @nimra,

 

Please check if any other user or program is using this pbix file as suggested by @sampathkumar

 

Regarding the publish issue, please open Power BI service, click Get Data-> Files -> Local files to publish this pbix file to see if it can succeed. 

 

Best Regards,

Thanks @sampathkumar and @Qiuyun. You guys are right. There were some background processes using PowerBI.
