Cannot package project - failed to delete staging directory

I just received an update to the UE4 editor and now for the life of me, I cannot get my project packaged.

I am trying to package for Windows 10 x64 and have done this millions (okay, not millions :D) of times without trouble.

When I try to package (using the shipping configuration) I get the following error:

PackagingResults:Error: Error Failed
to delete staging directory. This
could be because something is
currently using the staging directory
(ps4/xbox/etc)

I have deleted all binaries and output build folders in the project, I have cleaned and recompiled the solution, I have restarted multiple my machine times, tried deleting the staging directory manually. I have even tried running UE4 in admin mode. However, the issue remains.

It seems to get stuck on “End Deployment Context”

The line that sticks out for me is:

Access to the path
‘C:\Users\Google
Drive\Newcastle
University\PhD\Code\UE4\IRR\Saved\StagedBuilds\WindowsNoEditor\Engine\Binaries\ThirdParty\ICU\icu4c-53_1\Win64\VS2015’
is denied

How can I fix this so that I can once again package my project?

I fixed this by deleting the “Saved” directory from the main folder, as well as all the “Build” and “Binaries” folders.

You don’t need to delete all “saved” directory. Just delete the “StagedBuilds” folder content. It worked for me.
