But that being said, this brings to mind a question about this... in
*nix, when I can't do something like delete a file or directory, or
unmount a filesystem and cant find the cause, I can do an lsof and
grep for references to the file/directory in question, then work from
there to close anything that still has a lock.
It's been a while since a last had this problem. I found a program
named "handle.exe" somewhere on microsoft.com. It spits out a listing
showing which process has which files open. You can kill the offending
processes, and then you can delete your file.
I suppose Google can help you find this program.
Hope this helps,

Handle.exe and "Process Explorer" (mentioned by J) are both from
Sysinternals, which was acquired by Microsoft, and to be found on their
site.

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896655.aspx for handle.exe
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896653.aspx for process
explorer
But as long as I'm in the thread, I'll state that I suspect the problem to be
simply that the OP is running his script inside some IDE, and it hasn't really
ended. So the first thing I'd try is to exit the IDE, and see whether the file
is then released.
