[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #63265] Rmdir fails to delete svn folder

[Markus Mützel]

Follow-up Comment #7, bug #63265 (project octave):

You can't expect us to just run some file with a couple of hundred lines that
might delete some files. You can tell us that it is save. But how do we know
it really is?

Anyway. Those QueryDirectory operations might be:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/drivers/ddi/ntifs/nf-ntifs-ntquerydirectoryfile

IIUC, they need an open file handle. Those might very well be the reason why
the directory can't be deleted.

I'm not exactly sure what is the reason for those QueryDirectory calls. But
they might be triggered for updates of the file browser in Octave's GUI.
Do you still see the error if you close the file browser widget before running
your function?
