I’ve suddenly been getting this error a lot when I’m trying to build to HTML5:

Anyone have an idea what’s going on?

Try to delete that file manually

I did, but it states that I do not have permission… (which I don’t get since I am the only user on my machine, and I am admin). This one has really got me.

That means the issue is not related to Openfl or Haxe.
I guess you need to google something like “windows cannot delete file”

Check if some process lock the files. You can use LockHunter for that https://lockhunter.com/

Thank you! I’ll use that.

So it appears the issue may have been Dropbox stalling on the upload for some reason. Thanks for the lockhunter advice!
