Unable to run `cargo clean` while VS Code is open

Open Zooce opened this issue 6 years ago • 7 comments

Running cargo clean while VS Code was open (with a Rust project), I got the following error:

$ cargo clean
error: could not remove build directory

Caused by:
  failed to remove file `<path to my project>\target\rls\debug\deps\serde_derive-7eec45f9b1b97ee6.dll`

Caused by:
  Access is denied. (os error 5)

I tried this several times, and every time access was denied. I closed VS Code and ran cargo clean again, and it worked immediately. Maybe the rls-vscode plugin is holding onto some files, preventing cargo clean from removing them?
