I'm not sure is it a plugin bug or TC itself, but will post it here also.

Initially the issue was found by me when using the Office 2007 plugin and posted in the plugin thread: viewtopic.php?p=351170#p351170

Plugin open file handles in background and prevent them from deleting.

Steps to reproduce:
0. Install the Office 2007 plugin.
1. Create a valid XLSX file C:\1\1.xlsx
2. Create a valid XLSX file C:\1.xlsx
3. Try to overwrite C:\1\1.xlsx with C:\1.xlsx.

Expected result:
File is overwritten

Actual result:
Can not overwrite files even with elevated privileges. If open ProcExp and check the TC process for the list of opened file handles - will see opened handles for both xlsx files. So opened file handles prevent files from deletion.

Same behaviour in 32 and 64 bits.

If I close those handles from the ProcExp - TC will open them again even if Copy dialog is not called.

Lister itself and TC don't lock files. A file may be locked by a plugin or an external app, and there is nothing that TC can do.
