Rob, I created the simple example, following your directions, and found that on my system I can always delete file. Maby behaviour on your machinge is depenedent on your code, that is keeping repherence to open file ????

(although I looked briefly at the Xerces code Peter McCracken pointed to and it seems Xerces will always close the files, but there is relatively a lot going on there). So FileInputStream fis = null; try { ... fis = new FileInputStream(in); org.xml.sax.InputSource source = new InputSource(fis); source.setSystemId(uri); reader.parse(source); } catch (Exception e) { if (fis != null) { fis.close(); } assertTrue(in.delete()); } or something along those lines (untested). Then you get to close the file-stream 'yourself'.
