Sometimes gulp del cause EPERM error

See original GitHub issue

Hi.

I’m trying del in my clean task.

gulp.task('clean', function(cb) {
 del('build/**', cb);
});

gulp.task('build', ['clean'], function() {
    ...
});

And from time to time during running build task I’ve got

‘clean’ errored after 24 ms Error: EPERM, rmdir 'D:\dev\projects…

OS: Windows 7.

Is it problem of my implementation or just wrong behavior on Windows?

Sorry if it’s not a good place to post this problem.

Thanks

@robich, Yes, I’m on windows. I’ll try to disable antivirus but changing pattern from build/** to build solves problem. I suppose, that the problem can be in pattern. But my main suggestion is that del tries to remove folder during deliting file inside this folder. Is it possible?
