It wouldn't work.  The problem is that the delete does not fail.  Just
the file does not disappear.  And if you deleted the file and *then*
notice that it didn't disappear, Windows does not allow you to move
it anymore.  So, either you move it right before deleting, or you're
stuck.

Two points, though:

- P's to speed up the code are TC ;)
- If somebody figures out a way to learn if a file has opened handles on
  it, quick and maybe in native NT code, I'd be most grateful.
