That’d be fine, though? Not an OS expert but if you move it, the computer knows where it goes any can pause and read/writes and utilize RAM for it’s in-use version. But if it tries the same thing when you deleted it, it’s going to have nowhere to put the results of whatever it’s doing. Also if the computer is just reading a file, it may assume you might not want to delete it.

It’s more like it doesn’t actually go anywhere on-disk; only the tag in the filesystem pointing to it changes. I’m pretty sure once the program has an open file handle, it doesn’t care about the path anymore anyway.
