Deleting a file in Windows 10 has been updated to try a POSIX-style delete. For a POSIX delete, the filesystem unlinks the file even it's open, whereas a classic delete only unlinks a 'deleted' file when it's closed. The filesystem has to support it. NTFS does, which is the most important because the system drive is NTFS. This makes supporting FILE_SHARE_DELETE a more attractive option. That said, there are sill significant limits. Memory-mapped files can't be deleted (renamed, yes, but not removed). Also, most programs don't share delete access on their opens, which means they can't open a file that's currently open with delete access (e.g. NamedTemporaryFile), and their open files can't be deleted. ---------- components: +IO, Windows -Library (Lib) nosy: +paul.moore versions: +Python 3.10, Python 3.8, Python 3.9 -Python 3.5 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue15244> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
