Well, the code is here:
https://github.com/apache/netbeans/tree/master/platform/janitor
I'd like if someone on Windows where this is reproducible could take a
look. Maybe some file is locked there... I do not know. All I could do
is to add a proper logging at
https://github.com/apache/netbeans/blob/5f2e1382bc66d465a544ab358171c1810b57834f/platform/janitor/src/org/netbeans/modules/janitor/Janitor.java#L236

The only problem is when I do tell it to run the janitor it still does
not run and it just keeps coming back and the folder remains.
I think Laszlo mentioned maybe a permissions or some other issue
previously.
Where in the code base is this activity?

a flag per user dir or in general? Since you can uncheck "Run
Janitor on
Startup" in the options to truly not be asked again unless you run it
manually :)
its probably better to turn it off if you use a setup with
multiple user
dirs for testing or other purposes (I have it off too).
a per user dir flag would be essentially an ignore list which
needs to
be exposed to the user somehow, e.g. via the options, so that it
can be
reset etc - since its an edge case and there is a workaround for
us, I
am not sure if its worth the trouble tbh.
