When running the example studies on Windows, deleting existing output directories could fail with PermissionError (WinError 5). This was caused by temporary file locks, most commonly while git was active in the repository.
This change makes the cleanup more robust by retrying the directory deletion and clearing read-only flags where needed. This avoids intermittent failures during example execution on Windows.
