"Time to see who's stopping me from deleting this file... svchost??? Goddamn it!"

Probably the indexing service, it's always the indexing service.

Well, it could be an executable disguising itself as svchost. Pretty common for malware or video game cheats to name their executables svchost.exe to hide from anti-virus/anticheat

I'm in this picture and I don't like it. I was trying to diagnose a prod server crashing this very Wednesday and seeing the lines of svchost.exe is so fucking maddening... I'm glad ProcessExplorer was there to give some useful fucking info, at least.
