I accidentally created a job with a whitespace at the end of the project name. I was unable to rename or delete the job afterwards. The error below is the error I received while trying to delete the job:

      I don't think these issues are related to whitespace in the job name. I was able to create such a job and delete it on Windows just fine.
      


      I think the problem is more to do with the build (and possibly other) activities that's going on in parallel. We delete a directory by first deleting everything in it, and this error indicates that those files have been created again while we did that.
