Hello All, Hope you guys are doing great. Can you please help me on the following issue with a

freestyle project, that runs in windows Jenkins server. 

My windows Jenkins workspace folder has full access(read/write/modify etc).  When I first run the build, I am able to push & attach the file successfully to confluence from jenkins. The file(say Project3XOutput_202004201748) is generated in the build\resources folder. My output file has timestamp embedded in the name. 

But from the next build onwards, I encounter an issue with the deleting or clearing the workspace because of the file Project3XOutput_202004201748. 

I couldnt delete the file Project3XOutput_202004201748 from the Jenkins server machine itself. The file automatically re-appears after refresh even when I made a shift+delete from the Jenkins machine.

The only way I can resolve this is to stop the Jenkins server and restart the Jenkins server. After a restart, the first build ran was working fine, but subsequent builds result in the same cleaning issue of the workspace.

I see the filename as 0B in the workspace.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Unable to delete the workspace is shown when I run the clean build gradle command. 

[Project3X] $ cmd /c call C:\WINDOWS\TEMP\jenkins4496026035965746988.bat

C:\Program Files (x86)\Jenkins\workspace\Project3X>exit 0

• What went wrong:
  Execution failed for task ':clean'.
  > Unable to delete directory: C:\Program Files (x86)\Jenkins\workspace\Project3X\build\resources
  Build step 'Invoke Gradle script' changed build result to FAILURE

2) When I try to wipe out the workspace manually in Jenkins, I get
