You may have a virus scanner running on this server, causing
interference with the operations of Postgres. Note as well that
operations happening within Postgres are concurrent-compliant, so this
is not caused by something another backend is doing. I short you need
to look at if there is an external process having a look at this data
folder, and disable it or remove PGDATA from its cleaning routine.
