Investigate windows / node v14 recursive bug #334

JonnyBurger posted onGitHub

When you are specifically:

On Node.js v14.16.x
On Windows

If you render a video, at the end it will log an error message:

Error: ENOTEMPTY: directory not empty, rmdir 'C:\Users\RUNNER~1\AppData\Local\Temp\react-motion-graphics9o9K3v'

It can be seen in the CI: https://github.com/remotion-dev/remotion/runs/3765414019?check_suite_focus=true#step:9:96

Actually, it looks like a Node.JS bug. It doesn't make any sense to me why this is happening! We need a workaround for it but to preserve the current functionality.
