Hi. Haven’t seen this error before, Vibrancy is supposed to delete the existing runtime folder before copying the newest version upon running the reload action, but in your case the folder wasn’t deleted for some reason. Perhaps it’s a permission issue, though it should’ve generated a different error if that’s the case. Could you please try going to c:\Users\mulya\AppData\Local\Programs\Microsoft VS Code\resources\app\out and deleting the vscode-vibrancy-runtime-v6 folder manually, then trying the Reload Vibrancy action again?

This is a bug of the new version. This bug will reappear every time the configuration is modified. My Environment is the same as the publisher of this issue.

Can confirm that this was a bug, for some reason the fs module on Windows can’t remove folders that aren’t empty, switched to a rimraf library that seems to work properly.
