I receive this error when debugging. When i clean the solution then i receive the following error message. Does anyone know the solution?

Solution

    1. Please make sure that your folders were not read-only:

      Visual Studio Publish Failed: “Unable to delete file … Access to the path … is denied.”

    2. Run VS as the admin, view the result.

    3. Restart your machine, you could delete the output folder manually after you take a backup for your project, and then re-clean and build the project, view the result.

    4. Update Symantec policy
