MySQL Running SQL Script error - [WinError 32] The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process:

Error Image

I am getting an error while running a SQL script to load data. Error is pasted below:

Preparing...
[WinError 32] The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process: 'C:\\Users\\PRATIK~1\\AppData\\Local\\Temp\\tmpf75l0wi5.cnf'

I have tried uninstalling and installing MySQL several times but nothing is helping.

How to fix winerror 32 MySQL?

Something you can do is to change your MySQL configuration so it uses a specific Temporary path you'll set, restart MySQL and retry running the query. If you see the error contains your new temporary path you've isolated the issue, it is indeed a MySQL problem.

I faced the same issues while trying to run a MySQL script. I tried to find the process in the temp folder and removed it and tried again but the process seems to start again and appears in the temp folder. I could not run the script, however, I found a workaround, instead of running the script try to open it and run it in the query editor.
