Unable to delete PST file until jvm is terminated.

[ajaydarekar-ezest]

Please find code below. PSTFile object is not releasing reference of a file. I have to delete file once mails from PST files are read and stored in DB.

PSTFile pstFile = new PSTFile(tempFile);
processFolder(pstFile.getRootFolder(), emailCredentials, tags);
/FileUtils.cleanDirectory(dir);
dir.delete();/
tempFile.delete();

Unable to delete tempFile from folder till jvm is started.

I think you are supposed to close the PSTFile object like so:

final PSTFile pstFile = new PSTFile(tempFile);
try {
   processFolder(pstFile.getRootFolder(), emailCredentials, tags);
} finally {
   pstFile.close();
}
FileUtils.cleanDirectory(dir);

@rjohnsondev It actually would be great if future releases of libpst would let PSTFile implement java.lang.AutoCloseable to make this more obvious in an IDE.
