Appears to me that calibre needs to check if the actual file in filesystem is "busy" before we delete any entries in DB.
Sure, I can just try to remember to close all external viewing programs, but

Calibre's viewer does not have this problem
It is not easy to determine the (lock) status of a file on all file systems.
I suspect the 'viewer' requires write mode because of annotations and bookmarking.
At this time: the 'User care'

function is all that is available.
At least, no lasting damage was done.
