code EPERM errno -4048 syscall Unlink?

[Rob21894]

I'm opening this issue because:

• npm is crashing.
• npm is producing an incorrect install.
• npm is doing something I don't understand.
• npm is producing incorrect or undesirable behavior.
• Other (see below for feature requests):

What's going wrong?

When running npm publish dist I am getting a ton of errors "EPRM" and have no idea what it is or how to resolve it :(

What is this issue? and why is it accruing? it is listing these package.thz files but I have no idea what it's trying to look for

I am running as admin and am logged into npm
