I have seen this with a similar script. What I have seen is that the

NET USE * /DEL /YES

finishes but does not always fully execute for all drives but is
waiting and running in the background. Then the drive mapping actually
succeeds and sometime after that (even a minute or  two later) the
delete actually happens. If you can I think it is best to avoid the
delete.
