Sorry, I was responding in general, because I thought you meant unlink would fail like it would for most open files on Windows, because the CRT normally doesn't open files with delete sharing. But I see what you meant now. Yes, the order needs to be reversed as unlink() and then close() for this to work. Doing the close first does raise a FileNotFoundError.
