I’m seeing the error message: 

[2025-11-19 12:17:33.647] Cannot delete C:\[tenant]\App_Data\TSScreenInfo\Company folder, lock.json is present, pid=21156, ppid=17096

 

I presume this relates to a fatal build error in the previous publish attempt, which aborted with an HTML Merge error. It seems like the lock.json is not deleted when the publish exits abnormally.

I have to manually delete that file before I can Publish.

The issue might go away if the HTML Merge error gets fixed in a new version, but it strikes me that the Publish ought to remove the lock file.

This is with 25.200.0248.

​@allisterchambers48 I’ve tried replicating it but it seems to work fine for me. 

Do you have a more specific direction to get into that situation?
