PermissionError / WinError 5 when trying to init repo

Hi, Following the tutorial on the circuitdojo website for getting started with the nrf9160, I ran into a problem that, despite hours of trying, I cannot find a way to solve. I have no idea where else to get help; I am sorry if this is not the right place.

I am trying to perform Init Repo via the Zephyr extension in VSCode. What I'm observing is a PermissionError (WinError 5) where the init script can't copy/move a file into the nfed folder. Also, when trying to delete the nfed folder, this is not possible as I need permission to delete this, even though I am on a Windows account with administrator privileges.

The terminal process "C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe -Command west init -m https://github.com/circuitdojo/nrf9160-feather-examples-and-drivers.git" terminated with exit code: 1.

I've tried the following:

Reinstalling Python
Reinstalling Git
Restarting the computer numerous times througout this
Restarting VSCode
Running VSCode as administrator
Trying other Python versions (currently on 3.9)
...but I can't for the life of me figure out what is causing the permissions to break.

Any help would be appreciated.
