8203	File Storage can't delete temporary uploaded files in Windows	Julien Phalip	Rami Kassab	"In windows (at least in XP, AFAICT), the file storage system can't delete temporary uploaded files as an exception is raised:

{{{

WindowsError: [Error 32] The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process: 'E:\\temp_django_files\\zqix8a.upload'
}}}

In the traceback above, if you wonder what {{{self.__class__.storage}}} is, it actually refers to a {{{FileSystemStorage}}} instance:

{{{
storage = FileSystemStorage(location='/bla')
}}}

{{{E:\\temp_django_files}}} is the custom folder defined with {{{FILE_UPLOAD_TEMP_DIR}}}

It works fine, though, for small files that go under the {{{FILE_UPLOAD_MAX_MEMORY_SIZE}}} limit."		closed	File uploads/storage	dev		fixed	aug22sprint	rajesh.dhawan@… snaury@… amiroff@…	Ready for checkin	1	0	0	0	0	0
