Permission denied, Execution of 'copyfile' failed - no more attempts left

[FireQuakrOfficial]

I am trying to convert my main.py into an exe and it gave me this error. I am relatively new to python, as i mostly work with java, and have no clue what to do to fix this. I will paste the terminal output below.

PermissionError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: 'E:\DeBlock_Super\DeBlock_Super\dist\main.exe'

We cannot copy the new bootloader executable to the specified location. Either because your anti-virus program is blocking access to it, or the executable is locked for some other reason - for example, you tried to run it and one of its (sub)processes is still running in the background.

You should try to manually remove the specified file.
