Shift + Delete would just delete the file without any warning\confirmation.
That's only the difference between Delete and Shift + Delete.

File must be using by another process somehow when you were trying to delete
the file and when you tried the Delete with Shift it was not being used so
it was deleted I believe.

Actually, the biggest difference between delete and shift+delete is that
shift+delete
doesn't send files to the recycle bin.
