VMWare WS 9: XP VM Does not release exclusive locks on Host files

$

I copied a directory hierarchy from host to guest via the "Shared Folders" feature. Once done, I closed explorer on the WinXP 32 bit guest, and attempted to delete the directory structure on the Win7 64bit host (rd /s/q dirname). I received multiple errors to the effect that "the process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process."

 

Shutting down the VM allowed me to complete the cleanup, but I don't believe this should be necessary. Anyone else experience this? Is there a solution?

 

Thanks.
