| Jul 13, 2023 at 17:00 | comment | added | Darius.V | why nobody is telling to delete the folder in host machine? I was getting this error in docker container, and it was the fastest way to delete with sudo from host machine but no google first results where telling that, no answer like this here. I would post an answer but I cannot because I need more reputation. And this is ASimpleMethodThatWorks at least in case like my. No need to install things like lsof, tried that - it even gave me erorr that it failed to download or smth. | |

Solutions on this page don't work for me, still not be able to delete the file, but in my case i'm bothered by the size the file, so i do this little trick: vim unwanted_file, then simply delete the content inside the file in edit mode, this way i release the disk, but the file is still there.

| Jan 10, 2015 at 23:34 | comment | added | psusi | @foobarbecue, normally those are only advisory locks and the man page at least seems to indicate they are only for read/write, not unlink. | |
| Jan 10, 2015 at 1:05 | comment | added | foobarbecue | @psusi, that is incorrect. You either have a bad source of information or are just making stuff up. Linux, like Windows, has file and device locking. It's kind of broken, though. 0pointer.de/blog/projects/locking.html | |

What the hell? Unix does not prevent you from deleting open files like Windows does. This is why you can delete your whole system by running rm -rf /... it will happily delete every single file, including /bin/rm.
