Problem is that it seems this command locks thefile, as the application
sometimes can't delete it.
Unfortunately, yes. On Windows, a "full stat" requires that the file be
opened.
This is why Perl has the ${^WIN32_SLOPPY_STAT} flag variable.
https://metacpan.org/pod/distribution/perl/pod/perlvar.pod#${^WIN32_SLOPPY_STAT}
${^WIN32_SLOPPY_STAT}
If this variable is set to a true value, then stat() on Windows will
not try to open the file. This means that the link count cannot be
determined and file attributes may be out of date if additional
hardlinks to the file exist. On the other hand, not opening the file is
considerably faster, especially for files on network drives.
