Bug: Rename directory not possible on update

[kylewhirl]

Describe the Bug

I get an error when trying to install a new version of the plugin. It gets to rename a directory but can’t since the directory is full. I know how to fix it, but this is not the first time this has happened

To Reproduce

Install v3.1.3 of SwitchBot plugin
Install v3.7.0 of SwitchBot plugin

Expected Behavior

The directory should not be renamed, especially not hidden either

this is a permissions issue.

How do I fix it without having to copy the code the plugin is trying to execute with sudo?

[donavanbecker]

Try:

sudo nom install -g --unsafe-perm @switchbot/homebridge-switchbot

[kylewhirl]

Try:

sudo npm install -g --unsafe-perm @switchbot/homebridge-switchbot

Still same issue with the same error, directory is not empty
