It could be that the src or dst file is open and locked by another process. You can use Process Explorer (free download from MS) on the server to find if a process has a handle to the file in question.

    I checked that nothing is open . I was using foreach earlier and some one told me that its deprecated and had some issues. I changed that to for. And when i use copy followed by unlink the copy works but the unlink does not.

      So the file is read-only, or you don't have permissions to delete it, or some process holds a share or delete lock on the file.
