My program uses findfirst() and rename() to remove all files from a
folder. And then it executes RemoveDir() and this fails.

When I try to remove the empty folder with the Windows Explorer, this
fails.

When I close my C++ program, I can remove the folder with the
Explorer.

It appears that my program locks the folder. Is there a remedy?
