[erlang-bugs] file:delete/1 is inconsistent across OS

[José Valim]

file:delete/1 is able to remove read-only files on Mac OS X (and I assume
Unix) but it is unable to do so Windows.

On Windows, it returns {:error, :eacces}. After manually adding owner write
permission to the file, even via Erlang API, I am able delete it on Windows
too.

Verified on Erlang/OTP 17 [erts-6.3].
