Q: I want to relocate QB POS Data file from shared documents to shared network file. I have tried dragging, copying, etc.  Getting error “Being used by another person …” Nothing else is opened. I have rebooted and shut down PC.

EMS: POS will scan the network to connect client machines to the POS server.  The only reason I have seen people want to change the database location is so that the database is on their file server for backup.  There are two choices.  Install POS on the file server and make that the POS server or schedule your backups to a drive on the server and then back up the backups.
