    Here we have good deletion of workspace folder only but `~/.cordova/*` also 
could have the same issues. Also 2 extra steps in builder will confuse a user.
    
    I propose to move this workaround into `RMRF` function. This way there 
would be a clean deletion of any folder. I've made a quick test of deletion js 
script. I hope it will help to illustrate my idea:
    ```
    def RMRF(path, description=None, **kwargs):
    
        if description is None:
            description = 'removing ' + path
    
        # this is better than 'rm -rf' because it removes excessively long 
paths on Windows
        js_script = "var s = require('shelljs'); fs = require('fs'); path = 
require('path'); var attempts = 1, dir = 
path.dirname(path.normalize('{path}')); while((fs.readdirSync(dir).length > 0) 
&& (attempts <= 10)) {{ console.log('removing {path} attempt ' + attempts); 
s.rm('-rf', '{path}'); attempts++; }} process.once('exit', function () {{ if 
(fs.readdirSync(dir).length > 0) {{ process.exit(1); }} }});".format(path=path)
    
        return SH(command=['node', '-e', js_script], description=description, 
**kwargs)
    ```
