Hm, I don't think I have ever seen this on Linux native filesystems. Sounds like someone is keeping the jar(s) open and so it cannot be deleted (on Windows). If you could investigate who is keeping the file open, that would be awesome. I am not a Windows expert, but found this on the topic:
http://serverfault.com/questions/1966/how-do-you-find-what-process-is-holding-a-file-open-in-windows

(Linux filesystems don't normally have this problem, as a file opened by one process can be deleted by another one.)

Thanks.

This problem is really annoying,
it is happened almost any time (Only on Windows).
Is it was fixed in 7.2?
