StandardFileStream>>close is the method that closes the file cleanly and makes sure that the external file handle gets closed. If you use this to explicitly close all file streams that refer to the file, you should then be able to delete the file.
Thanks. I was clear enough. What I mean was after I close the file stream by sending #close, the file is not close immediately. For eg. if I check by sending #closed to the stream immediately after sending #close, it _sometimes_ answer false. But if I do a gc, or put a self halt than click proceed immediately when I see the debugger window, it will be ok. I can't rule out the possibility that its a bug in my code, but it certainly seems that #close does not work as you described. BTW, this is on windows.
