I have successfully used ForceProcess and AutoDelete in multiple sandboxes for many years. However, I created a new sandbox configured with AutoDelete and ForceProcess and the sandbox contents are not deleted when the lone program running in the sandbox is closed.
After much testing to isolate the problem, I've created a sample sandboxie.ini file that demonstrates the problem. The attached sandboxie.ini file contains" ForceProcess=notepad.exe". The sandbox contents aren't deleted when notepad is closed.
Note: The problem doesn't happen just for notepad.exe, I originally encountered the problem when sandboxing FoxitReader.exe (a PDF reader).
I have other sandboxes that use AutoDelete and one or more ForceProcess entries that autodelete properly, so I'm surprised the contents are not deleted for this sandbox.
To Reproduce
Use the attached sandboxie.ini
Run notepad.exe (notepad.exe will appear in the DefaultBox sandbox)
Close notepad.exe
Expected behavior
The DefaultBox sandbox contents will be deleted after closing notepad.exe
