unfortunately, the options u pointed and what andrey pointed arent possible. In line with the locking file or directory any commands or API are available? Any tips on implementing it would be helpful.

Windows will allow you to manage just the delete permission. If you need that level of control, check out 'icacls'. Something like the following may work for you:

icacls<filename> /deny<user or SID>:D

Doesn't help in Cygwin if the user is admin. Think SE_BACKUP_PRIVILEGE.

Ah yes. And the OP said dropping this privilege for the user was a non-starter for some reason. OK, I'm out of ideas.
