Device or resource busy when deleting Youtube folder from /data/app

Question

I am trying to delete my /data/app/com.google.android.youtube-DVUYe6iX9r5J1nYk8PlC2w== folder to fix the bug described here; however, I keep getting a "Device or resource busy" message. I tried using this command


adb pull /data/adb/service.d/vanced.sh > %UserProfile%\Desktop\vanced.sh

and also Total Commander file manager but received the same error. How can I delete the folder?

Answer

The problem was caused by the Vanced-related files in /data/adb and /data/adb/service.d operating on the Youtube folder hence it being busy. The solution was to delete all of these files, reboot, then delete the Youtube folder. It seems the Vanced contributor failed to realize this and instructed me to delete the Youtube folder while Vanced was still operating on it.
