Can you try doing a full reinstall?

First, uninstall the game, then go to "Steam\steamapps\common\ProjectZomboid" and make sure there are no leftover files or folders there.

After that, go to “C:\Users\YourUserName\Zomboid” and delete everything there except the “Saves” folder.

Then just install the game again and see if that helps.

Not to alarm but check after a reboot (or if you know how to enter safe mode) if you can delete the folder then?
If the answer is yes then something was just accessing it but if the answer is no I recommend checking your Drive's Health! It bight be dying...
