[Bug]: unlink error with newer versions of symfony/http-foundation

[from-space]

Is the bug applicable and reproducable to the latest version of the package and hasn't it been reported before?

• Yes, it's still reproducable

What version of Laravel Excel are you using?

3.1.62

What version of Laravel are you using?

11.38.2

What version of PHP are you using?

8.3

Describe your issue

Using Excel::download in a mostly blank Laravel project on a Homestead VM creates a file in /storage/framework/cache/laravel-excel and an error in the laravel.log that states:

text file is busy at ... /home/vagrant/code/ucp-readers-2025/vendor/symfony/http-foundation/BinaryFileResponse.php:352.

This is on symfony/http-foundation v7.2.2. Download works correctly with no errors when I downgrade http-foundation to v7.0.7.

How can the issue be reproduced?

Not 100% sure if there's something unique to my environment, but try using Excel::download with symfony/http-foundation v7.2.2 installed.

What should be the expected behaviour?

File should download without error, as it does with earlier versions of http-foundation.

Please validate if you have the same issue when downloading with Laravel as we just use their code for it. If you also have the error there, please report it at Laravel.
