[Bug 1468971] [NEW] Unable to delete some data in Win (Permission)

 

Public bug reported:

When I delete a theme from OLP theme manager and close OLP the folder
for the deleted theme remains in data/themes folder.

The xml file inside the folder and the .png file gets deleted, but the
folder itself remains.

When trying to create a theme with same name as a deleted theme OLP
throws error claiming theme with that name already exists.

It would also appear that images/thumbnails remain even though the images are deleted from OLP. 
(This probably causes problems on some other folders too

Debug log (says there is permission error):

I tried this with Admin privileges and non-win install drive but they still got stuck.
I also tried to set more permissions for the install folder for all users but it didn’t help
It works on external drive thought, so there is something very silly with the permissions in Windows.

Photo included shows image of my themes folder including empty folders
(every folder that has no equaling .png image)

Unlike internal NTFS drives the external is FAT32 via USB. (suppose it
does not matter)

Running 2.1.5 On Win 8.1
