Yes, well rebooting is a bit drastic. I found that if you simple wait like
an hour or so leaving the directory alone then all of a sudden you can d
elete it.

Sound exactly like the problem I am having.

Yes, well I can give you some more details. It is guarenteed to happen if
you call ant quickly several times after eachother.
Also I suspect that ant is doing things to fast and that is why windows
2000 locks the directory. Perhaps if we would have ant wait for 2 seconds
before deleting the dir windows 2000 would not lock it.
Anyway which service Pack are you running with on windows 2000? Perhaps a
new servicepack fixes this windows 2000 feature.
Does anybody got any idea how to prevent windows 2000 from locking
directories?.
