I'm running latest version of TFS 2015 release manager. I have a simple release that includes a "CopyFiles" task. I need to have the "Clean Target Folder" option of the task enabled.
I have three target environments configured. Both are newly created identical Windows servers. The CopyFiles task works fine against the first two servers but for the next environment in the pipeline, when copying to the second server I get the following error:

There's no sign of errors in the event log.
I created the share "\Steatbt02\BizTalkDeployments2" and granted "full-access" permissions to the account running the build agent. I even tried logging onto the build server and run as for the command prompt using the credentials of the build agent. From this command window I was able to remove the target folder "\Steatbt02\BizTalkDeployments2\Orchard" - so I can't think why the build agent would have trouble doing the same!
Any ideas what could be wrong, or what extra steps I could take to track down the root cause of the problem?
