I'm using git clean -fdx on my repo using Git 2.8.2.windows.1. My understanding is that the -f flag should be forcing removal. At times I - unexpectedly - get this linking issue (that has a solution).

My question is not why this happens - I know another process has a handle on whatever file Git is trying to manipulate.

My question: When I look up the path that git clean -fdx complains about using Process Explorer->Find, no handles are found. How can this be?

What other tools can be used to determine which process is locking things up?
