Instant Clone Pool fails when deleting and recreating new desktops

Hi!

I managed to setup a Win 10 instant clone desktop pool in Horizon 7.3.1 and was able to login to the first desktop created. Excellent technology! However when I logged off and the desktop is supposed to be deleted and

a new is supposed to be created and/or a spare desktop is to be created I experience the following errors.

Error in Horizon Admin GUI:

Cloning of VM w10instclone-01 has failed: Fault type is VC_FAULT_FATAL - Unable to access file /vmfs/volumes/5836fe5c-5f95aa04-aa05-0025b50a026d/cp-parent-b34016d8-3fa9-49f4-a4bd-9366d0678997/cp-parent-b34016d8-3fa9-49f4-a4bd-9366d0678997-000001.vmdk since it is locked

Event error i vCenter:

Anyone else experience this?
