This probably happened because you left acrobat running and tried to exit LyX. Here's what happens: 1) Within LyX, you do: View->PDF. 2) Acrobat starts up, reading your file. 3) You exit LyX. It tries to delete the temp directory, but it can't (Acrobat is open and using it). There is nothing that LyX can do for this. Just exit Acrobat Reader first. -- Kayvan A.
