Make sure you don't have files with the same name in different Resources subfolders, like AppIcon and Images.
Maui, files go locked and even Resource Monitor cannot find what is locking it

So simple close VS when I had the error gives me this and basically seems that the project is toast.
Maui and VS are not GA!!!!!

Richard Dufour 10 Reputation points2023-05-05T16:33:56.4266667+00:00 These locks are happening because you have 2 file with the same name (i.e. myimage.png and myimage.svg would cause the lock)
Just my 2 cents (seems like a pretty easy fix to me), before locking the file, could VS be a tad smarter and actually consider the file extension??
I'm baffled at how many of these hiccups MAUI is filled with.

- Exit Visual Studio.
- Delete the bin and obj folders in your Maui project directory.
- Start Command Prompt cmd with elevated privilege (Run as Administrator)
In the Command Prompt window execute the following two commands (the first is just to change directory to you project folder -- replace the text
<your Maui directory path>with full path including the drive letter as d:\projects\MyMauiProject. I'm assuming that you're on Windows).cd /d <your Maui directory path>
dotnet restoreStart Visual Studio and compile your code. Use the same method if a similar issue of file lock recurs.
