file.  I cannot delete the config file.  Process Explorer says the Jenkins process has an open file handle on it.  Eventually, that does go away, and I can delete the file.

Gabriel GIL added a comment - 2020-09-24 14:25 Same problem.. I can't create a freestyle project with Jenkins API.  Work with other types like Maven jobs for exemple... 

Solid added a comment - 2021-07-04 16:47 Same issue. (It has been a while since September 2020.)
