Cannot delete backup file; access is denied

Our dev database server is Windows 2000 SP3. Every so often we hit this error message in a maint plan when trying to delete an old database backup file: "Cannot delete whatever_20051114_015214.bak: Access is denied. The source file is in use." Each time, it happens at 1 a.m., when nothing else obvious is running on the system. Our usual fix is to bounce the server. Is there a better solution to this? Thanks.
