If the file is not open and it is unable to delete it..
Try to manually delete.. if windows gives you an error saying that the file is locked then welcome to windows.
You cant do anything but reboot (I've tried killing every windows process that I could and it still wont work).
This usually happens when someone is viewing a file while the clean is happening.

No, and otherwise I call a clean goal before the site goal, so the files are
created for the first time by the site goal.

the order of the calls in my goal are:
   - clean
   - site
   - copy the files site goal generated to a specific paste (via and tag
"copy")
   - jar:install
   - clean

but as I've said the clean (the second one) canÂt delete all the files....
and I get the error below (everytime with different file anyway...)

Dumb question, but it's something I'm embarrassed to say has stumped me before...

Do you have another process open and viewing a subdirectory of the
target, like a command shell or something?

Just thought I'd check.

Hi
I'm tring to create a new goal where I create the project site (via goal
site), move the site to other paste (via ant tags) and then I clean the
project (via goal clean)
But when I run my goal the clean goal fail, because he can't delete some
files of the target directory.
does anyone know why this is happening and how to stop this?
Thanks for the attention
