Description smannesman 2026-01-16 15:15:10 UTC 
SUMMARY
KDEConnect will hold certain files open, making them impossible to delete or move without killing the process.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Download some files, possibly executables
2. Try to move or delete said files

OBSERVED RESULT
Cannot delete/move file, file is open in kdeconnectd.exe

EXPECTED RESULT
There is no reason for kdeconnect to access any files not related to its own execution so files should be able to be moved and deleted freely.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Windows: 10 22H2
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.19.0
Qt Version: 6.9.2

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
It doesn't happen all the time, but often enough assuming one downloads a lot of files.
