> Sharing modes don't help with the STATUS_DELETE_PENDING issue. Maybe I misunderstood the problem. But I think my reasoning holds regardless? To be clear, it seems you're talking about a situation where an app is trying to delete and re-create a file, and an AV is scanning the file in between, hence a recreation fails. But with their file system filter drivers, AVs can detect such recreation attempts, so they should be able to handle it properly. So isn't it their fault for not doing so? > Nor does it let you delete a directory while children are open. Right, but same as above: there exists functionality to detect this, right? So if it isn't used, whose fault is it?
