It looks like publicweb is also your root volume. Doing a snap restore on the root volume is not a good idea.
Even after removing the file, OnTap still has the file handle open on it.
You probably need to create a new separate root volume (recommended) or move the root volume to another existing volume and then re-run the snap restore.
If publicweb isn’t the root volume, I’m not sure what the issue is.
