Get Python PermissionError: [WinError 32] for the python's own history file

I use ipynb notebook in VS Code

Today I started to get an error: Failed to start the Kernel. PermissionError: [WinError 32] The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process: 'C:\Users\UserName\.ipython\profile_default\history.sqlite' -> 'C:\Users\UserName\.ipython\profile_default\history-corrupt.sqlite'. View Jupyter log for further details.

I tried: restarting the PC, deleting 'history.sqlite' (threre is also 'history.sqlite-journal' file in the same folder, that couldn't be deleted even afer the reboot)

Didn't help so far. Don't remember changing any system settings
