pac tool cmt error: corrupted cache folder, pac tool cmt -u error: The tool's cache folder seems corrupted, please clear its cache with: 'pac tool CMT --clear', then rerun with 'pac tool CM T'.

I ran pac tool cmtto grab a UAT environment.

When I tried to restore the data to the environment, CMT gave the above two errors. Prior to that I may have had two CMT instances running at the same time. Closed everything out, came back in, and got the above errors. Fix steps I tried:

• Repaired using msi.
• Uninstalled and reinstalled.
• Run from VSCode.
• Run from PowerShell.
• Delete various files.

Same results each time.

This feels like a file with a write handle open, but I can't find where it might be. There's no evidence out there of this specific error either--scary....

Thanks, Todd Shelton
