msbuild-task

Hi guys,

I would like to delete all the files and subfolders inside a folder. For this purpose, I am using task in my script with property TaskAction set to "RemoveContent". However there is an inconsistent behaviour. Sometimes when I run the script, it throws IOException with the messsage The directory is not empty. But when i rerun the script it works fine. Any idea why would it be throwing this exception? As I said this does happens occasionally.

Regards, Nabeel Farid
