i have no idea.

Funny thing is that this is even reproducable through ftp, or directly in windows. FIles that are locked by asp.net can not be deleted by any means. The trick cathal pointed at was to change the folders asp.net is looking at for possible filechanges. Being that that will only work in full trust, we will not use that fix. Another fix is more worthwile looking at IMHO, and that is the concept of soft deleting files, ie. marking them for deletion in the database, hide them from view in the file manager, and show them in the recycle bin. When clearing the recycle bin, files will need to be deleted by a scheduled task, in order to overcome asp.net locking (in effect, the scheduled task will try to delete every file that is marked for permanent deletion, until there is none left)

ok.. the idea is there.. . now we just need someone to build it :)

Thanks for the link Cathal! However, can you elaborate on how to implement those hacks in DNN safely and properly? I'm not familiar with making changes to ASP.Net core functions.
