As a general request, please don't post screen images.  They are very hard 
to read, especially for (but not exclusively for) those with visual 
impairment. They also can't be copy-pasted.

You haven't said what platform you are running on.  However if this is 
Linux or another POSIX-compatible system, it's perfectly fine to delete a 
file while it's open.  The file remains on disk until the last process 
which has an open file handle has closed it.

You can demonstrate this quite easily:
- create a large (multi-gigabyte) file
- check the filesystem free space
- open the file
- delete it
- check the filesystem free space
- close it
- check the filesystem free space

Only after closing the file will the free space be returned to the 
filesystem.
