Unlink of file Failed. Should I try again?

Question

Something wrong is going on with one of the files in my local git repository. When I\'m trying to change the branch it says:

Unlink of file \'templates/media         


        

Answer 1

On Windows, saw this error on a git clone of a (fairly large) repo. Closed SmartGit and paused my backup software (CrashPlan), and after that it worked. Not sure which of the 2 did the trick, but if running either, this might do it for you too.
