IOException: Sharing violation on path

Question

For some reason I keep getting the error IOException: Sharing violation on path when trying to run SaveScores. This code is meant to load the list of all the scores the player has gotten, adds a score to it, and then saves that. Do any of you know what is wrong with it?

     public void SaveScores(float score){
         List<float> playerScores = LoadScores();
 
         BinaryFormatter bf = new BinaryFormatter();
         FileStream file = File.Create(Application.persistentDataPath + "/highscores.save");
 
         Scores scoreClass = new Scores();
         
         playerScores.Add(score);
 
         scoreClass.scores = playerScores;
 
         bf.Serialize(file, scoreClass);
         file.Close();
 
     }
 
     public List<float> LoadScores(){
         List<float> scores = new List<float>();
 
         if (File.Exists(Application.persistentDataPath + "/highscores.save"))
         {
             BinaryFormatter bf = new BinaryFormatter();
             FileStream file = File.Open(Application.persistentDataPath + "/Highscores.save", FileMode.Open);
             
             Scores scoreClass = (Scores)bf.Deserialize(file);
             
             scores = scoreClass.scores;
 
             file.Close();
         }
 
         return scores;
     }

could you try adding usings?

 using(BinaryFormatter bf = new BinaryFormatter())
 {
     using(FileStream file = File.Create(Application.persistentDataPath + "/highscores.save"))
     {

just in case the garbage collector is not deleting the objects
