      On Windows there are cases when a directory is still locked after mongo process has exited, which causes test failures. See BF-13075

      One way to solve the problem is by making test directory a symbolic link, as described here: https://www.howtogeek.com/howto/16226/complete-guide-to-symbolic-links-symlinks-on-windows-or-linux/ . ResetDbpath will then be able to create a new directory and reset a link to point to the newly created directory, which will work even if existing directory can not be cleaned up.
