Deleted DLL in use from Plugins during runtime only removes the meta file, forcing DLL to be imported every time it is deleted
Steps to reproduce:
1. Download and open attached project "New Unity Project 29.zip"
2. Open scene "Main" and play it
3. In Project view navigate to Plugins folder and delete "NativeUsingManagedDelegate.dll"
4. Stop playing the scene
5. Switch focus to any other window and then back to Unity
Actual result: Notice that said dll gets recreated (https://gyazo.com/b430020a8653d84183a38a5c055ee421)
Expected result: It stays deleted
Notes: This only seems to affect DLL's from Plugins folder which are in use by someone.
After initial deletion within runtime, DLL gets recreated every time it is deleted, even after the project is stopped, initially locking the file itself and only removing its meta file.
Workaround: Delete DLL manually withing Windows Explorer
Tested and reproduce with:
Windows 10
Unity 5.3.4p4, 5.4.0.b15
Not reproducible with:
Unity 5.2.4p1

This must be fixed guys, it's so hard to iterate on plugin development when you have to keep closing and restarting the Editor.

I am not able to delete the file with Windows Explorer. I get a "file in use" error. This means that in order to re-import updated versions of a .dll, I must close and reopen Unity, which is incredibly painful. Please fix this soon.
