Removing a directory gets stuck

Hello!

I use TortoiseSVN (1.9.3) on Windows 7 and observe the effect that deleting (svn rm or move) a directory
about once in four attempts fails with something along "could not remove directory
because it was not empty".

I suspect that the virus scanner stands in the way, because when I look the directory is empty, and
a cleanup process almost always succeeds.

Can the directory removal be made more robust (like: if it fails and shouldn't, just wait a second and retry,
and *then* complain) or be de-interlaced from the database operation, removing the entry in the
working copy, closing the database and after that issuing the remove and rmdir commands on the
file system?

Mit freundlichen Grüßen
