Hi Szaka,
Thank you for your quick response.
I implemented the patch you supplied, and it worked without problem; the
file system seems stable and no issues have been encountered thus far.
That said, I have taken your warnings on board and I will be using a
software-based workaround for this issue for the time being. NTFS-3G is
a fantastic library and I don't wish to compromise its stability or the
stability of FUSE on my system.
Many thanks again for your quick and helpful reply. Have a wonderful
week.
Regards,
-Rebecca.

Correct. The file name is highly confusing (many people think it's
related
to some rootkit). Probably it should be called .fuse_deleted. Fixing
this
issue is on the TODO but it's not very trivial.

I'm not sure. When hard_remove was reviewed last time then it was
decided
that it's unsafe with NTFS-3G. We will review this again.

Right. We try to limit users to shot themself in the foot ;)

No. But please find a patch below which should do what you would like.
Use
it at your own risk and please let us know how it works. If you find no
problem then probably we will ;)

Don't let Windows to lock the files.

No. You did everything fine.
