    // Drop the directory before removing it, since we open directories without

    // rather than its handle.
    //
    // There is a window here in which another process could remove or rename
    // a directory with this path after the handle is dropped, however it's
    // unlikely to happen by accident, and unlikely to cause major problems.
    // It may cause spurious failures, or failures with different error codes,
    // but this appears to be unavoidable.
    //
    // Even if we did have `FILE_SHARE_DELETE` and we kept the handle open
    // while doing the `remove_dir, `FILE_SHARE_DELETE` would grant other
    // processes the right to remove or rename the directory. So there
    // doesn't seem to be a race-free way of removing opened directories.
