Thanks Jim.
Yes I do have Malwarebytes and an anti-virus running but both have the temp
WSJT-X folder and file exempted. It probably is something that's running but
if WSJT-X can't find that directory inside a temp directory, it should just
re-create it. Temp folders and files are by their nature volatile and
temporary.

Dan,
this sort of error can happen on Windows when one application holds a
file or directory open while another deletes a parent directory. Windows
appears to complete the deletion of the directory but the directory is
invisibly preserved until the first application closes the file or
directory it has open. There is no problem with this until a new
application instance tries to recreate the deleted directory which then
fails. WSJT-X deletes it's temporary directory and contents upon exit
and creates it on entry. I guess some other application is holding that
directory or a directory or file under it open and interfering with
WSJT-X's best efforts to use it's own temporary files.
Temporary files are not volatile by nature, they are simply files that
are created and used by an application until it has finished with them.
They should not be opened by other applications which have no business
meddling with internal WSJT-X data.
