Jenkins ver 2.89.3 (OS X); p4-plugin ver 1.8.4; Windows slave - Windows 7 Professional SP1
Jobs on our Windows slave machine are often failing with an "Unable to delete directory" error. The directory isn't locked, etc. and a subsequent run may succeed. This happens with various jobs and with different directories. It just started occurring within the last week. No backups are running during the build. We have tried updating Jenkins and the P4 plug-in, as well as Perforce on the slave machine to no avail. Any suggestions or workarounds would be appreciated.
P4 Task: attempt: 1

If you have a support contract please contact support@perforce.com
so I can investigate further. Note that if this isn't a permissions error then we are going to need something like Windows process monitor to see what's happening to these directories when we are trying to delete them. Initial thoughts are another job, some background thread still has a lock on the directory or AV software.
