how to delete a feather file (whose creation has been aborted)?

See original GitHub issue

Hello there,

Thanks for this amazing format. I really like the interoperability between Python and R.

I wonder if the following is a bug. When I create a large file with pandas and I write to disk using to_feather, then killing the processing makes me UNABLE to delete the file from my folder.

Windows complains that the file is still in use in python (although the processing has stopped permanently). This is annoying because it seems I must restart my session to “break” the link with Python.

Am I missing something here? Thanks!

I’m not sure; Windows can be quite difficult about these things. If writing a Feather file fails for some known reason (e.g. an exception is raised), then the code will delete the file. If the process is killed while the file is being written, then I’m not sure. It’s not really a Feather-specific issue

I think this is addressed by the arrow Feather functions now. Closing
