Created attachment 155035 [details] Patch Currently the cleaner process on Windows cannot delete files that has the read-only attribute set. The main problem being that the Win32 DeleteFileW() function expects read-only attribs on a file to have been removed beforehand. The current cleaner.exe does not handle this. I've created a small patch to fix this. It is just 2 lines of code. It does the following: If the read-only attribute is set then remove it. I've checked if the same problem exists in the cleaner for Unices (cleaner.sh) but that doesn't seem to be case as that script uses "rm -f" when attempting to delete a file. In other words: It is only the Windows version which has this problem.
