Unable to delete file (Hotkey)

Hello people!

A while ago, I've set a hotkey (*) to quick-delete the current playing track.
(Preferences -> Keyboard shortcuts -> Playback -> Delete current song)
It works ... almost ... once in 5-6 times it would throw an error:

"Unable to delete this file, is it in a read-only location?"


It is not. All files are local (SSD, not NAS/network) with Full Access (Read-Write).

At first I thought "Since I have crossfading/buffering enabled, maybe the file gets
locked by Foobar for a short period of time and this is when I hit the hotkey?".

I've set Buffer Length to the allowed minimum (50 ms), Fading to OFF, but it didn't
help. Again, it works for 80% of all cases, but sometimes it doesn't.


Could you share any advice? Thanks!
