I've been having a similar issue; uninstalled nightly completely and am now without:

See #1443 (comment):

It's Rust build system issue and should be tracked in main repo: rust-lang/rust#51699

This still doesn't work.

Every rustup command that tries to do anything like toolchain install nightly or self uninstall takes ages.

Same presists in the lastest version of the rustup update as well...

  stable-x86_64-pc-windows-msvc update failed - rustc 1.29.0 (aa3ca1994 2018-09-11)

Need help to resolve this issue.

[AlphaModder]

I'm having the same problem. Using ProcMon I've traced the problem to calls to MoveFileExW returning access denied on each of the files mentioned in the error. Unfortunately, I have no idea why this would happen.

rustup toolchain remove nightly #501 (comment)

rm -rf ~/.rustup/tmp - this maybe optional, but I was getting errors that something from tmp cannot be renamed #1245

rustup install nightly

[sourcefrog]

This was still happening for me. Beyond rofrol's suggestions, I also had

1. Temporarily disable Windows Defender entirely
2. rustup toolchain remove every installed toolchain, then reinstall the ones I want.

[kinnison]

Unfortunately there's little we can do short-term about Windows Defender. We're looking into sorting a mechanism for trusted binary signatures, but we're a long way off that.

[AsadMGradex]

If you have antivirus then you'll have to turn that off instead of windows defender. Although the way I solved it using visual studio code was:

• go to C:\Users\username.rustup\toolchains
• Delete all of them (stable, nightly, beta etc)
• open up visual studio code with the folder containing code that needs the nightly version. visual code brings up option to download nightly there so click yes and it will automatically download nightly.
• Run cmd prompt as administrator and re-downloading the stable version for later use: rustup toolchain install stable-x86_64-pc-windows-msvc

[HappyTigger]

Disable Mcafee works for me on WSL. Thanks, rofrol!

[rbtcollins]

There are several distinct issues discussed here. The original issue is another instance of missing/corrupt manifest data. Without knowledge of the installed file, rustup cannot remove it prior to installing the updated version, and then hits a conflict due to the file already existing, and you get the error.

We've got a bunch of these bugs scattered all over the place, I'm closing them all to bring order. See #2417.
