bug#74202: closed (31.0.50; package-el fails to delete outdated elpa pac

Using Windows ucrt mps emacs build from

https://github.com/kiennq/emacs-build/releases/tag/v31.319.20241101.0cb75cf

Since like two months or so, most notably package-el, but also other file deleting operations like expiring eww cache, fails to delete files in .emacs directory on Windows. The error message is "permission denied". I do run emacs as the interactively logged in user. FWIW I start emacs from a bash command line as runemacs.exe

Manually deleting files from within dired in the .emacs-directory works so I do not think it is a permission issue.
