Introduction # A while back, I was working on my mod manager for the new Microsoft Flight Simulator. While testing my mod manager, I ran into a scenario where Python couldn’t delete a mod’s folder with the error: Permission Error: [WinError 5] Access is denied. I thought this was strange as the files were owned by my account, and Python should have had permission to delete them (and I hadn’t had this issue with any other mods). I even tried relaunching the Python process as an administrator, and Python still couldn’t delete it.
