Steps to reproduce
After connecting using ssh from machine A to machine B .DAT files are marked as "Open by System".
Steps:
- Download OpenSSH from Optional Feaures.
- Create a new account on machine B, do not login to this account.
- Connect from machine A to machine B using ssh.
- Close connection, remove account on machine B.
- In the users is leftover folder with .DAT files inside which are open by a system.
Comment:
Tested VM hyper-V and another physical machine.
Tried finding handle in resource monitor and using Handler.exe from sysinternal. Handle isn;t listed in any of.
Tried to duplicate handle using c++ and close binary/library reponsible for keeping it alive. Program couldn't find any binary or library which have this handle open. Regardless it's listed as open by System.
Expected behavior
.DAT files shouldn't lock removing this folder. Handles to them should be closed and i should be able to remove user folder. (C:\Users\userfolder)
Actual behavior
.DAT files are locked and removing them is impossible until restart.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue on Windows with Win32-OpenSSH 9.5 using the listed account-creation, SSH connection, and account-removal steps. Observe the .DAT files and system handles after closing the connection; done means the handles close and the user folder can be removed without restarting. No source files or tests are named in the issue.
