[issue47113] PermissionError on pip uninstall

[Zombo]

New submission from Zombo :

I can install a package:

pip install brotli

but if I try to remove, it fails:

PS D:\Desktop> pip uninstall -y brotli
Found existing installation: Brotli 1.0.9
Uninstalling Brotli-1.0.9:

PermissionError: [WinError 5] Access is denied:

whats strange is that after the failure, I can go back and manually remove the 
folder with no problem:

PS D:\Desktop> python.exe
Python 3.10.4 (tags/v3.10.4:9d38120, Mar 23 2022, 23:13:41) [MSC v.1929 64 
bit (AMD64)] on win32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import shutil
>>> shutil.rmtree('C:\\Windows\\Temp\\pip-uninstall-fi5xmcvd')
