Re: [libreoffice-users] Write Closed but Windows 10 won't provide safe to remove flash drive

1. Separately open a window of the folder showing the document you are
   opening. Make a backup copy from Windows. Once your document is
   open, a temporary file should be created in that folder. When
   closing the document, the temporary document should disappear. If
   the temporary document does not go away, delete it.
2. Run Windows 10 Task Manager and look for any surviving LibreOffice
   programs running. If yes, kill the program, then see if it is safe
   to remove drive.

If either of these work for you, see "How to Report Bugs in LibreOffice 
at https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA/BugReport

These are the two things I found that caused LibreOffice to not let go 
of a file.

Hope it helps.
