Some Windows apps do handle it properly. For example, if you have an archive open in 7-zip and try to delete it, Windows Explorer should correctly tell you that it's open in 7-Zip. I'm not sure why it doesn't work that way for all apps.

Windows doesn't even tell you if Explorer itself has a folder open... how the hell does 7-Zip do it?

Shout out to my MVP Notepad++ telling the file has been deleted by another process and letting me decide if I want to keep it open anyway. Fantastic feature. I literally could not do my job without its ability to leave log files alone so they can be written to while I'm still browsing them.
