Failed deleting local Electron runtime due to long path on Windows

[jfcherng]

Steps for reproduction

On Windows,

1. Use the following settings and restart ST.

{
    "nodejs_runtime": ["local"],
    "local_use_electron": true,
}

This forces lsp_utils to download Electron and use it. Everything works fine.

2. Now, use the following settings and restart ST.

{
    "nodejs_runtime": ["local"],
    "local_use_electron": false,
}

This should ask lsp_utils to download Node.js. But after restarting ST, I get
