I have used IntelliJ's maven plugin to build my project with mvn clean install.
It fails on clean due to problems deleting certain folders within the target-directory.
I had this error multiple times and I could always solve it by utilizing unlocker or bash rm -rf <dir>, but not this time.
These are the things I tried to delete the folders:
windows explorer > right-click > delete:
seems to do nothing, not even output an error
cygwin > bash rm -rf: rm:
cannot remove 'tiny_mce/plugins/fullscreen': File existsrm: cannot remove 'tiny_mce/plugins/iespell': Directory not emptyunlocker > delete:
eclipse/intellij > delete
Java IOException: cannot delete...
I hope there are other options since I cannot continue my work on my local machine as long as I have this problem. And I certainly do not want to switch my workspace and setup everything from the beginning under a new path. This can't be the solution!
Update:
Moving the folder to another location
Strangely, it worked. I still cannot delete that folder, but I could continue my work. However, I want it removed...

it also seems as if my filesystem got damaged or some sort of, since no tool ever can delete that folder. It can be moved but not deleted. I remember having had that issue years ago on Windows 98... – Manticore – 2017-06-08T09:02:48.350
