Is there any way to delete the output file in the event after the build

Question

I am trying to run a post-build batch file in .NET build that encrypts the output file, deletes the original, and then renames the encrypted version to the original name of the output file. i.e:.

Build A, then in post build:

• Encryption A-> B,
• DEL / FA,
• RENAME B A.

It seems that I can not delete the original output file after encryption, although it seems that there is a file lock by the installer project (or maybe the project itself?). I tried to force delete, but this is not only a read-only attribute, but also a complete lock. Is there any way around this?
