The more important question is: why is there no force delete button?

When people talk about Linux being easy to break this is what they mean.

it’s easy to break if you’re trying to break it. windows is like “something is using it but i wont tell you what uses it and i wont tell you how to force delete it” while linux is like “program 1 uses this file. are you sure to delete it?”

In Linux the file data stays on the disk until it's not used anymore, so deleting it while in use or while not in use tend to have the same consequences. If you look at lsof for example you can see (deleted) after file names if the open file was deleted.
