Me: I've close the program, now please delete the file

Windows: ok, give me half an hour, it's not easy to delete 500 MB

... And the file is back open somehow. Only now the program throws an error when Windows launches, yet still leeches resources.

Here's an incredibly animated chart of how poorly I'm doing. Note that I seem to throttle the operation every 5 seconds or so.

Explanation? No, no. Haha. No. We don't do anything like that.

Oh you think because you closed the program it's released the file? Think again chump!

what? never had this happen and I don't see how you would. deleting is not a size dependent process, it just marks the file as deleted.

I did that once on my Macbook Air a while ago by mistake. The system's completely fucked and I had to reinstall it.

Missed the flag --no-preserve-root or you could just add a wildcard.
