"Remove additional files at destination" tries to remove App_Data\jobs but fails

Hi guys,

We noticed that after enabling “Remove additional files at destination” that some of our releases failed with the following message (as a pre-caution we do take the app service offline to ensure files are not in use however web jobs, particularly Application Insights Profile, may fall outside of this scope).

By either manually removing the App_Data\jobs folder in the SCM site or disabling “Remove additional files at destination” we were able to successfully release. But ideally, we’d like to be able to both remove files we deleted in a prior commit and keep our web jobs running.

Is there something I am missing or is this a conflict between the way App Insights deploys the profiling tool and the way the Azure App Service Deploy tasks deletes files?

I have the same issue, but using the suggested approach 1 is not possible as I deploy through AMR templates (MS Deploy task)

Will the ARM MS Deploy task be updated with this approach?

@jamesaarondevlin , can you please try the approach 1 and check if the issue still happening?
