Can't delete content with Windows player (web or app) if opened with Android

Latest player and server on Windows.
I’ve noticed a consistent issue that can be repeated at any time.
I have content on my Plex server and view it using player on that same server.
If I use my android mobile phone with Plex installed and view any content, then stop the play and close the app on the phone… I can not delete that file using the Windows player. It ‘thinks’ the file is in use. I’m assuming because of the mobile device use of that same file. Even if the mobile device is closed, even if I turn it off.

It seems that once I view content on my mobile device, I can not delete that piece of content on my main system because it believes the file is still open on the mobile. Leaving file handles or something active and not shutting them down.
