Bug; Not releasing file handles

I am finding the Duplicate Cleaner process is unnecessarily holding onto directory handles. I have to either close Duplicate Cleaner or use Unlocker to release them or else I am unable to delete some subfolders within those targeted by Duplicate cleaner.

Is this 1.4.7 or the 2.0 beta?
I will look into this - were you using the image browser? I believe there may be an issue with this not releasing the files properly.

It is with 1.4.7. It only applies when you do a delete of files inside a folder, then later go to delete that whole folder. If you install Unlocker you can see the process lock is being held by Duplicate Cleaner.

I haven't tried the image browser, just the normal find of duplicates then deletion.

Thanks for looking into this. Running on Windows 7 64-bit.
