Problem Description

I’ve run into this problem while trying to build a library with rust on windows. Basically every time I run the rustc src/lib.rs --crate-type lib command (to build the library), it creates an new undeletable folder in the root directory.

Things I’ve tried:

• Trying to change the permissions of the folder gives a You do not have permission to view or edit this object's permission settings.
• Trying to delete the folders normally gives a You require permission from the computer's administrator to make changes to this folder (even if I am administrator).
• Trying to use WSL to see the permissions on the folders gives the following output.

COMPUTERNAME:/path/to/files$ ls -la

Questions

What are some args I can use to at least move this output somewhere else (like in the build folder) and is there any way to delete these annoying files? Also would it makes sense to open an issue in the rustc repository for this as this doesn’t seem exactly intentional?

The files exist on a 1TB exFAT formatted external SSD if that makes a difference.
