Check AppSettings of Web App and delete the setting ‘WEBSITE_RUN_FROM_PACKAGE’ or changing the setting value to 0.

0 - write mode; 1 - read-only mode

There is a Process explorer tab in the header.

  1. Open Process explorer
  2. Kill the task that's using the folder or file
  3. You will be able to delete the folder in question

This is how I resolved the same issue.

Here is my solution: adding this option to your step deploying to the app service. Hope it would help

You may use the command api to do that. Craft a CMD or PowerShell command that'll clean your wwwroot and then execute it.

I tried all of the upper solutions and didn't worked. Blackhole! I stopped the app service, removed the files and started again. It worked.
