I'm running an application as a Windows Service. At the end of a test, the datasets & file are closed. And since this is .NET, I've forced garbage collection to make sure all that stuff is freed. The service continues to run.
However when I try to modify, move, whatever the HDF5 files that I've just finished, Windows (Server 2008) won't let me because it believes my service is still connected. I end up having to restart the service before they're free.
Is there something else I need to do to get HDF to let go of them?

garbage collection may not be able to close all things opened by HDF5 calls.
You can use H5Fget_obj_count( ) to check if there is any open object .

The .NET garbage collector is just for memory and not system resources. It
won't clean up window and file handles, database connections, etc. Windows
will complain if you try to move a file that has an open file handle so that
needs to be fully closed. You can check as per Peter's suggestion and close
anything that is still open.
