No, I use read, there is no file handles. Pointless to post

I simply read the file to compare it's contents then I try to
remove the file if it had the same contents and it says it is
invalid. I also, of course, check that it exist and is a file.
This is all I'm doing that is related to file reading and I
cannot remove the file(but can read it and such).
So, I'm really wondering if read locks the file but doesn't
release it in time.
Using lockHunder shows the file isn't locked but the directory
is(Probably because I'm iterating through it.
Seems it is an error with remove, using executeShell works fine:
auto ls = executeShell(`del /F /Q "`~fn~`"`);
which does not give an error but remove(fn) does.
Seems remove is broke.

void main()
{
import std.file : exists, read, remove;
import std.stdio : File;
import std.uuid : randomUUID;
import std.file : tempDir;
import std.path : dirSeparator;
string tFileName = tempDir ~ dirSeparator ~ randomUUID.toString;
File(tFileName, "w").close;
assert(tFileName.exists);
assert(tFileName.read.length == 0);
tFileName.remove;
assert(!tFileName.exists);
}

This works for me. And what does not for you?
