is server.Disconnect async ?

[mete]

I am trying to delete the folder (Remove-Item) under headers after removing a device (with Remove-Device). After Remove-Device or after server.Disconnect or checking server.Connected property, I cannot remove the files because it says they are used by another process. If I wait a second (sleep 1), I can delete it. I guess server is keeping the file open (?), is there a way to do this ?

You need to remove the devices by running the Remove script. Then, once the device is removed from StarWind.cfg, you can delete it from headers/underlying storage.

By Remove script, if you mean Remove-Device, the below does not work:

Remove-Device -server $server -deviceId $device.DeviceId
Remove-Item -Path "$STARWINDS_HEADERS_FOLDER\$libraryName" -Force -Recurse

results

Remove-Item : Cannot remove item C:\Program Files\StarWind Software\StarWind\headers\myvtl\myvtl.swdsk: The process
cannot access the file 'myvtl.swdsk' because it is being used by another process.

If I put a sleep 1 before Remove-Item, it works. Maybe it is system related.

Thanks for your hint.
Yes, it could be something in the service not letting the header go in time.
