Yeah, that author is full of it. The del command isn't going to do anything (other than giving you an error) if you can't right click and delete the file. (Or if /remove doesn't work in mIRC)
The file has to be closed before deleting it. I believe third party utilities just find a way to close it. Perhaps they find out what program is using it and close that. I really don't know because I don't bother. I have just restarted the computer the few times I've had a file that was marked as being in-use.
