If so, it skips that file and logs that a live process may be using it. The skip only happens when an internal check allows it.\n\n**Why**\n\nFiles still in use are not deleted out from under the program using them.\n\n- Area: Elsewhere\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 2\/5\n- Signal: 1\/5\n- Scope: individual\n- Heads-up: no"}
