I'm not sure I'm going to help here, but the reason that this happens is that certain services -- and the Desktop Search tools are notorious for this -- get file handles with FILE_SHARE_DELETE, which means that the file isn't actually removed when it's deleted; only when the last of those handles closes. I did see a suggestion somewhere that, to circumvent this issue, instead of removing it a file you need to move it to %TEMP% (or wherever) and delete it there. I'll try to knock up a test case to see if this works.
