The only trend I’ve noticed is that I upgraded from Elixir 1.9.2 to 1.11.2 and this error has been happening much more frequently now - I’d say about 80-90% of the time.

In the above example, I got it while it was trying to remove argon2_elixir but it can really be any folder. The error does not always occur at the same location. (elixir 1.11.2) lib/enum.ex:1399: Enum.'-map/2-lists^map/1-0-'/2 i made a function that first reads the file and checks if it exists or not and then it removes it after a confirmation but if i do directly like remove('a.text') it deletes the file that has th. remove() returns 0 if the file is deleted successfully, else it returns a non-zero value. remove() function takes file name (or path if not located in the same location) as argument and deletes the file. (mix 1.11.2) lib/mix/tasks/:81: anonymous fn/4 in .compile/2 To delete a file using C language, use remove() function of stdio.h.

The only solution I’ve found is to manually delete the _build folder.įull stack trace: ** (File.Error) could not remove files and directories recursively from 'c:/apps/my_app/_build/dev/lib/argon2_elixir': not owner

I frequently get this error during compilation.
