when I test EncryptDirectoryWrapperTest which extends BaseDirectoryTestCase, it shows error:

**java.io.IOException: Could not remove the following files (in the order of attempts):**

I'm sorry but `EncryptDirectoryWrapperTest` does not seem to be part of the Elasticsearch source tree, where is this class coming from? If it is from another product or plugin, you might want to to ask in that specific forum.
