  Apparently some parts of this are quite recent, huh[1]: > jstarks commented on Jun 18, 2019: > [I]n the most recent version of Windows, we updated DeleteFile (on NTFS) to perform a "POSIX" delete, where the file is removed from the namespace immediately instead of waiting for all open handles to the file to be closed.

  Notably Rust's standard library does allow deleting files it opens by default. https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/blob/735bb7e5df185cc24e56533abd0bbab510931f6f/library/std/src/sys/windows/fs.rs#L190C19-L190C19 https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/blob/735bb7e5df185cc24e565... While full Unix-like behaviour is only available on Windows 10 for the past five or so years, you can still have the old win32 behaviour on older systems (delete once the last file handle is closed).
