For what it’s worth, this happened to me recently using frescobaldi on windows while having one of the resulting PDFs open in Adobe Acrobat. This may be something similar – most PDF readers lock the files, so lilypond can’t write to the PDF and then also won’t delete the intermediate files. probably a different scenario to the OP’s though.
