It's a Windows feature. We discovered this recently in debugging another test failure. Windows is documented to do asynchronous deletes. You can't depend on a file.delete() which returns true to have actually deleted the file. It may be the case that another process has a file handle which it has not yet released, or it's simply a delay. I don't get this, the issue sounds more like AV software or Windows application quality service/agent thing accessing the file but I might be wrong of course. Are you able to duplicate this reliably and if so, have you looked at it with any tools to see what/who is accessing it that is causing the delay?
