Yes, you could open the file with fopen(). If this returns -1, the file is used elsewhere.
You could also just use error handling with the command that deletes the file. A simple example follows.
local llError, lcOnError
lcOnError = on("error")
on error llError = .T.
erase MyFile.xyz
on error &lcOnError
if llError
MessageBox("Can't erase the file for some reason.")
endif
