It seems like WebStorm created a file login.component.ts___jb_old___ and I can't delete it or move it.
I've gone into settings and turned off safe write, and restarted WebStorm, but I can't delete the file, which is making me unable to run my docker container.
Doing an ls -ll prints
-rw-r----- 1 Uknown+User Unknown+User 2308 Feb 6 11:29 login.component.ts___jb_old___
All of the other files in the directory have the correct permissions and are owned by me.
I'm on Windows and I am the only user on the computer and set as Admin, I've opened an Admin command prompt and still get access denied when trying to change permissions of the file or delete the file.
When I open File Explorer to try and change it through the windows gui it tells me You do not have permission to view or edit this object's permission settings.
Any ideas on how I can delete this file?
