Additional Information
This is expected behavior. While Python is running and pointing to a raster object, that raster cannot be deleted. The object must be removed from the Python environment.Workaround
Use del to delete the raster saved by the .save function before using shutil.rmtree to delete the directory (Un-comment line30).
