I've been trying to use FileRemoveDir/FileCreateDir to occasionally clean out some directories and noticed that not all of the files in some of the directories were being deleted.

Upon further investigation I discovered that one of the files was locked open. When FileRemoveDir encountered the locked file it stopped immediately, and all files after the locked file remained. I tried removing the directory using the rd command and it removed everything except the locked file.

Is there something I'm missing or am I going about this all wrong?

I think this is normal Windows behavior.
Use

Code:

Loop, c:\Temp,,1
FileDelete % A_LoopFileFullPath
