Explanation / Answer

Hi,

These are some of the recommendations to avoid this kind of errors

Looks like some other process has the handle for the files mentioned in the error.
Some antivirus might be blocking the python. Kindly check that on your environment.

Fix:
Stop any antivirus on your environment or other programs which have handle on that folders.
Considering the fact that you have several special operating system related folders on that path, the operating system would have handle on the files. the reason you see in the permission denied errors.

Most likely fix:
The error is likely because you have a git repository defined in C:usersyourName.
It is not recommended to have repository defined on that path.

You can check the git repo path using the below command or. by opening .gitconfig file.

git rev-parse --show-toplevel

Clone or create the repo on another path to avoid the errors mentioned.


Hope this helps.
