Alas, this is not enough... even if we say to Windows "you should
really allow us to delete the file while it's opened", it won't still
let us delete the directory where the file has been delete, until it
is closed.

I fear that our "move the file somewhere else, then delete it" (not
very clean, but it works) will be the final solution.
