Composer can't remove file on composer install

Question

I have removed the vendor folder and composer.lock file. When I run sudo -u www-data composer install -vv I get this error:

- Installing composer/package-versions-deprecated (1.11.99.1): Reading /home/vagrant/.composer/cache/files/composer/package-versions-deprecated/152d7deed07370b5fdb649027a98c4feafa4d280.zip from cache

EDIT: I ended up removing everything from composer.json and then adding it back line by line. It took some time but did the trick. I didn't find out what caused the problem.

Does [this](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/26216437/error-could-not-delete-with-composer-on-vagrant) help? — Definitely not Rafal, Nov 25 '20 at 15:57

Use NFS! it will solve the composer "Could not delete" issue!

Install Vagrant Plugin

vagrant plugin install vagrant-winnfsd

Set NFS in your Homestead.yaml

folders:
    - map: D:\Homestead
      to: /home/vagrant/code
      type: "nfs"
