How to fix scons "Cannot create a file when that file already exists" error?

I was about to build a Godot extension that I made in C++. It was going fine with the building of the godot-cpp library, but I got an error when I tried to build the plugin (with my code) by running the command scons in cmd. I then tried to delete the godot-cpp bindings and after that recompile them, but I could not recompile them, and I got the same error as before.

Here is what the error log looks like:

PS C:\Users\****\OneDrive\Skrivebord\gdDynamicMesh\godot-cpp> scons target=template_debug platform=windows
scons: Reading SConscript files ...
Auto-detected 32 CPU cores available for build parallelism. Using 31 cores by default. You can override it with the -j argument.
Building for architecture x86_64 on platform windows
scons: done reading SConscript files.
scons: Building targets ...
Generating gen\include\godot_cpp\core\ext_wrappers.gen.inc ...
scons: *** [gen\include\godot_cpp\core\ext_wrappers.gen.inc] C:\Users\\OneDrive\Skrivebord\gdDynamicMesh\godot-cpp\gen: Cannot create a file when that file already exists
scons: building terminated because of errors.

I then tried adding --debug=stacktrace to the command but got this error log instead:

PS C:\Users\****\OneDrive\Skrivebord\gdDynamicMesh\godot-cpp> scons target=template_debug platform=windows --debug=stacktrace
scons: Reading SConscript files ...

I have fixed it now... all I needed to do was to reinstall godot-cpp.
