I’m trying to install Plone following the suggested steps on their website. I’ve ensured that all dependencies are installed and working. I’ve also installed Pipx and Cookiecutter subsequently, and I can successfully clone project starters through it.

However, when I execute the pipx run cookiecutter gh:collective/cookiecutter-plone-starter command to start a Plone project, I encounter the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:PathToPythonPython3Libshutil.py", line 620, in _rmtree_unsafe
    os.unlink(fullname)
FileNotFoundError: [WinError 3] The system cannot find the path specified: 'C:\Path\To\User\Directory\.cookiecutters\cookiecutter-plone-starter\{{ cookiecutter.project_slug }}\backend\src\{{ cookiecutter.python_package_name }}\src\{{ cookiecutter.python_package_name }}\locales\{{ cookiecutter.__locales_language }}\LC_MESSAGES\{{ cookiecutter.python_package_name }}.po'

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

After prompting the Do you want to re-use the existing version? [y/n] (y): question, it seems to not be able to delete the old file to create a new one.

Additionally, when I try to use the existing project, I receive the following message:

A valid repository for "https://github.com/collective/cookiecutter-plone-starter.git" could not be found in the following locations:
C:Users.cookiecutterscookiecutter-plone-starter

Even though this is a valid path.

How can I create a project normally without encountering these errors?
