Yes, XYplorer locks it.

The folder was empty, it was a "Move" operation, done by XYplorer. Nothing else was using the folder, I don't even have a Virus scanner installed.

Is XYplorer currently (while that message appears) listing that folder?

Yes, XYplorer was listing the empty folder at that time.

Another one: I was trying to rename a folder on a network drive, but XYplorer can't rename it (...kann nicht abgeschlossen werden ... anderen Programm geöffnet...), see screenshot https://www.screencast.com/t/YsvGVgp6sS5

But it is not opened with another program but only with XYplorer.

After that I can't even close XYplorer the regular way (with X or "File" --> "Exit"), it simply doesn't close. I have to terminate XYplorer the hard way.

The Windows Explorer has no problem to rename that folder, BUT only after I terminated XYplorer first.
