I noticed an issue with files being locked by QLVideo, reproduce as follows:

  1. Connect to AFP share.
  2. QuickLook a mp3 file (not a mkv!) then exit QuickLook
  3. Attempt to delete the file.
  4. Finder reports file is in-use and cannot be deleted.

Uninstalling QLVideo and re-trying these steps does not result in Finder reporting the error.

QLVideo cask 1.94
macOS 11.2.3
AFP share is on a Synology 218+ running DSM 6.2.3-25426 Update 3

You can't delete a file while QuickLook is thumbnailng or Spotlight is re-indexing it. And you can't Unmount a volume while QuickLook is thumbnailng or Spotlight is re-indexing files on it.
Unfortunately you'll have to be patient until QuickLook and Spotlight settle down.
