Description

Gitea cannot seem to delete a repo on Windows. The contents of the directory are removed, but the .git repo directory root is left behind. This results in a collision if you try to create another repo with the same name.

Appears to work fine on v1.14.

Screenshots

Says the repository was successfully deleted.
