Did you reboot the machine since? Either reboot the machine or check that you don't have any leftover running processes from the build. Windows won't delete a file that is opened by a process, or a directory that is the working directory of a process. Exit any MSYS2, CMD or Emacs shell, launch the Task Manager and in the Details pane look for instances of `make', `gcc', `sh', `bash', `cmd', `git', etc. Kill those processes and try removing the problematic file/folder from Windows Explorer.
