I want to unlink (delete) my temporary file but php throws the error:

Warning Error: Unlinking ("my file path"\Temp\TMPAF91.tmp): ["my file path"\myscript resources in Temporarily unavailable.php, line "number"]

$tmpfile = tempnam(sys_get_temp_dir(), 'zipfile');

file_put_contents($tmpfile, $content);

$zip = new ZipArchive;

if ($zip->open($tmpfile) === true) {
// my code in here to extract the $content of the $tmpfile

  $zip->close();
} 



unlink($tmpfile);

I'm not sure what's going on here. ZipArchive is down, so I should definitely be allowed to unlink.
