Error: The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process

[newhoggy]

Describe the bug
When compiling on Windows:

The following error occurs:

Installing library in C:\cabal\store\ghc-9.2.8\incoming\new-3144\cabal\store\ghc-9.2.8\bytestring-bu_-0.10.8._-b8a4e372acfcff40320e5e31ea22798d79297bbd\lib
D:\a\cardano-node\cardano-node\dist-newstyle\tmp\src-3144\bytestring-builder-0.10.8.2.0\bytestring-builder.cabal: removeDirectoryRecursive:removeContentsRecursive:removePathRecursive:removeContentsRecursive:removePathRecursive:DeleteFile "\\\\?\\D:\\a\\cardano-node\\cardano-node\\dist-newstyle\\tmp\\src-3144\\bytestring-builder-0.10.8.2.0\\bytestring-builder.cabal": permission denied (The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.)

To Reproduce
This is reproducible in Github Actions:

https://github.com/IntersectMBO/cardano-node/actions/runs/7418459148/job/20186416497?pr=5624

Expected behavior
Either the files are opened without an exclusive lock, or the file is closed in a timely manner or the file deletion is retried until the file is unlocked. Whichever way cabal should never fail with this error.

System information

• Windows
• cabal-3.10.2.0
• ghc-8.2.8

this is i believe the removeDirectoryRecursive issue on which see more here #7240 and here haskell/directory#129

I'm of the opinion that the directory maintainers need to iterate to a solution they're happy with, and we shouldn't be putting in ad-hoc workarounds downstream.
