## B.5 Problem Deleting Installation Directory under Windows

Sometimes Microsoft Windows won't let you delete the Virgo Server installation directory, typically because of long paths inside the `work` directory.

You can return the Virgo instance to a clean state by stopping Virgo if necessary and then running the startup script with the options `-clean -noStart`, after which you should be able to delete the installation directory. See Cleaning Virgo Server for Apache Tomcat without Starting it for more information.
