<p>If you’re getting an error, then you probably did a mistake when
implementing the <a class="reference internal" href="operations.html#llfuse.Operations.unlink" title="llfuse.Operations.unlink"><code class="xref py py-obj docutils literal"><span class="pre">unlink</span></code></a> handler and are removing the
file contents when you should be deferring removal to the
<a class="reference internal" href="operations.html#llfuse.Operations.forget" title="llfuse.Operations.forget"><code class="xref py py-obj docutils literal"><span class="pre">forget</span></code></a> handler.</p>
