Can't delete a file with a lock symbol.

Problem solved. I had to enable on the iPhone in the Acrobat App "Background App Refresh".

I am using iPhone X with iOS 16.7.11 using Adobe Scan Version 25.03.18

I have 1 file that has a "Lock" symbol. I can open the file, see the file. But I cannot delete the file. Please see the pictures attached. Even when the file is opened It does not let me delete the file.

Since yesterday I have a new iPhone 16 with the lates iOS 18.4. When trying to open this file I get the message "Unable to open file. Unable to complete request. Not found."
