Now, looking at the log file, I figured that the problem is probably with the permissions or the file being used by some other process. I deleted the file manually, and the game started running, so actually the problem is resolved. But maybe as a suggestion for the future, you could make it so that the game does not crash when this happens, but silently skips the file, because it looks it's just an after upgrade cleanup that can be done later.

Anyway, do with this as you see fit. Thanks for a great game.

I figured that the problem is probably with the permissions or the file being used by some other process.

Indeed, therefore not a bug. Most likely an anti virus program scanned the archive.
