Do we need to open projects we are discarding?

I'm looking at this code which is called when doing DiscardAllProjects().
It actually opens the project we are discarding, including creating a
checkpointing thread.  But do we actually need to do that?  Shouldn't we
just delete the file?

I'm thinking particularly of when the file may actually be bogus or corrupt.

void ProjectFileManager::DiscardAutosave(const FilePath &filename)
{
   InvisibleTemporaryProject tempProject;
   auto &project = tempProject.Project();
   auto &projectFileManager = Get(project);
   // Read the project, discarding autosave
   projectFileManager.ReadProjectFile(filename, true);
