Description

This can be used in race condition situations where a process has opened a folder and it tries to delete it just before closing the original handle. This function will close all the handles of all the processes that have opened the requested file or directory, thus it may cause unexpected behavior on other programs or could leave your file system on an inconsistent state. USE THIS UNDER YOUR OWN RISK.
