Perform a complete build (rebuild).
Exit and restart VS (file may be still opened for some reason) and rebuild.
Delete all files in the output directories (note that there are two for each build option) and rebuild.

Make sure you have sufficient permissions and also make sure you run visual studio with elevated admin rights.

I had this problem when migrated to the new PC where I decided to keep all my stuff on the Google Drive. So I built successfully the debug version. But when tried to build the Release, all of a sudden had this error:

1>g:\my drive\...\proj_globals.cpp : fatal error C1083: Cannot open compiler intermediate file: 'G:\My Drive\...\bin\Release\Win32\myProject.ipdb': Permission denied
1>LINK : fatal error LNK1257: code generation failed
1>Done building project "myProject.vcxproj" -- FAILED.

I found out that even though my D drive is NTFS, Google Drive File Stream (G:) was FAT32. Seems that this caused weird behavior with the .ipdb file access.

I managed to bypass the problem by changing the output directory in Visual Studio Configuration Properties->General->Output Directory to other, non GoogleDrive, NTFS location.
