The documentation for _WinAPI_MoveFileEx (https://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/docs/libfunctions/_WinAPI_MoveFileEx.htm) is incorrect.  If you want to delete a file it won't work with a 0, you have to use an empty string ("""").  I found this out the hard way today using SysInternals PendMoves (https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/pendmoves.aspx) for troubleshooting.  For the record, I strongly prefer the empty string as the correct syntax.  That being said, I think some exception code should be added for legacy support to allow """", 0.
