file in locked mode

I have had a flow setup for about a week that allowed a file to be moved to folder2 once it had been created in folder1. The flow worked 100% of the time. Now when I use the flow it fails everytime. For example I save a new excel document into folder1 (.xlxs) and the flow fails with the error: Action 'Move_file' failed.

With these details "cannot be moved because it is in locked mode.
clientRequestId: 7d9f5388-f9bd-465a-a1db-1f6abdb9fb19
serviceRequestId: 7d9f5388-f9bd-465a-a1db-1f6abdb9fb19"

I don't understand how this can happen all of a sudden when I didn't have this problem in the first place using exactly the same files.

The only way I've got this to work is if I create a .jpeg in Folder1 it moves to Folder2 without issues.
