My arduino keeps giving me this error. used to work fine before

avrdude: ser_open(): can't open device "\.\COM6": Access is denied.

Problem uploading to board. See https://support.arduino.cc/hc/en-us/sections/360003198300 for suggestions.

Sounds like a Windoze machine, I expect something else is using COM6. Have you tried shutting down and restarting your computer. Then start the IDE as first thing.
