Can't delete file after Rev creates it

Post by cborn » Mon May 24, 2010 5:56 pm

I have a stack that creates audio files (AIFF) and submits them to a server. After submission, I'd like the stack to clean up after itself and delete the local recording using delete file, but when done on Windows Rev tells me that it can't delete the file. It works brilliantly on Mac. It appears that Win won't allow the deletion because it thinks Rev is still using the file. I've tried using the close file command, but Rev just says the file wasn't open. Is there another way to force deletion regardless of what Windows says? :?

Thanks!

It appears the browser (FF 3.6.3 Windows) won't let go of the file and WIndows thinks it's still in use (this is a file created by a revlet embedded in a webpage). I have not yet figured out how to make the browser behave, but I've managed a workaround for now.
