Problem

When using the cxx crate to generate rust <> C++ bindings, cargo clean fails. The error is due to failure to delete directories generated by the cxx tool chain under the target directory.

Steps

1. Clone https://github.com/dtolnay/cxx
2. cd to the demo directory
3. Run cargo build
4. Run cargo clean
5. It will fail with the following error:
   error: failed to remove file <homedir>\projects\other\cxx\target\debug\build\cxx-test-suite-2dda1da2c847afa7\out\cxxbridge\crate\tests\ffi

Possible Solution(s)

It seems that it is failing to remove a directory that is not empty and/or has sub-directories.
