Unable to remove library from VS Code

Reproduce the removal or update through VS Code on Windows 11 as a regular user, using the reported wolfSSL and Adafruit cases and the pio pkg uninstall entry point mentioned in the error. Investigate why access-denied errors leave library directories behind; done means removal completes without requiring manual deletion.

I'm logged into Windows 11 Pro 22H2 (22621.3447) as a regular user (not a member of local Administrators group) and using PlatformIO Core 6.1.14·Home 3.4.4 for VS Code 1.88.0, specifically:

I'm working on wolfSSL for PlatformIO as described in https://github.com/platformio/platformio-registry/issues/85

The install of the wolfSSL library works well, but the removal (or update) from VS Code fails with this error:

Here's the full error:

WARNING: This command is deprecated and will be removed in the next releases.
Please use `pio pkg uninstall` instead.

I'm able to otherwise manually delete the library as noted in the error message, but that is of course not ideal.

See example staging versions: https://registry.platformio.org/libraries/wolfssl-staging/wolfSSL/versions

The example above was with 5.6.6-test6 installed, attempting to remove and upgrade.

The error seems related to permissions and/or antivirus (not the library itself), as I also see this error:

Does PlatformIO modify attributes at registry library install time?

This is not limited to my wolfSSL library, as I also see the error for this Adafruit library:

Thanks for taking a look at this.
