Deleting file in use should display process info (pid, name)

When I try to delete a file that is in use by another process it would be extremely helpful to display the blocking processes (there may be more than 1) information (such as process name, pid, ...).

In my busy system where I may have hundreds of hidden processes finding the culprit is very difficult.

Seems like a natural thing for a file explorer to be able to do.. and yours is the best!

We do this when we handle the deletion ourselves, if the information is available.

But if you delete a file to the Recycle Bin, then the Windows shell handles that, and it's up to it what happens then.

In my case, I used DOpus to navigate to the file. I then selected the file and used the context menu to delete the file. As far as I can tell the delete is being done by DOpus. If there is some internal delegation to Windows Shell that is beyond my control.

You can turn off using the recycle bin in Preferences. (Of course, undoing the deletions is then a lot harder.)
