Getting an error regarding temporary directories

[Matt Wechter]

When I try to build my project I'm getting the error

"Unable to release temporary directories.  Please report this error to pretext-support"

If it's a brand new project, it will build fine, but on second, third, etc. builds I get this error.  It's happening on my work computer but not on my home computer, so I thought it was a permissions issue, but I am able to manually delete the temp files and I will still get the error.

Has anybody seen this before?

Are you on Windows? We've had trouble like this before, there, iirc.

I get this if I'm trying to build on Windows in a directory that is tracked by OneDrive. 

You can either move your project into a directory that isn't backed up to OneDrive, or run with "pretext -v debug".

Debugging leaves the temporary directories behind, which avoids the error, but also clutters your system unless you remove the directories manually.
