I started working on a new Personal Book today, and after making some modifications to the .docx file I went to build it again.  Logos says "Build Failed.  Could not remove existing resource.  Please close all other open panels and try again."

I have no other open panels.  I have tried closing out of Logos and restarting.  Still same error,  I tried rebooting.  Still same error.

    Hello, can you please attach your personal book to see if I can reproduce the issue?  Thanks!

    Have you been able to reproduce this?  While I have been able to delete the personal book and recompile it successfully, it each new book has the same error whenever I try to recompile without deleting it first.

    [Edit - After many times of having to delete it and try again, it now just worked without deleting anything.]

    I am unable to reproduce the build issue either on 4.3 SR-8 or 4.5 Beta 13.  Do you still have the document open in Word while trying to build it in Logos?

    I did not.  It is working now, but I did notice I had one of the "deleted" versions still listed as a book in the library list even if it is gone in the Personal Books tool.

    Although I do not favour this workaround (because the original "delete" should have done the job cleanly) drag the book from Library into Program Settings >> Hidden Resources and restart L4.

    This also happened to me too, same error message.  I also tried the same fixes without success.  The problem went away on deleting the original Personal Book entry and starting over.

    Usually restarting Logos with a blank layout fixes this.

    For me, I usually can build a book once, but then have to restart Logos to rebuild a second time after editing the word document with fixes. I typically restart with my existing layout.
