git reset tries to delete folder when last file is removed but failed
to do so if shell is in the deleted folder.
Repro steps (powershell):
mkdir test
cd test
git init
mkdir dir
cd dir
add-content .\file ""
git add .
git commit -m "1"
git mv .\file .\file2
git commit -m "2"
git reset --hard HEAD^
> Deletion of directory 'dir' failed. Should I try again? (y/n)
Choosing y will repeat the same prompt. Choosing n will complete the
operation correctly.

In contrast to Linux, it is not possible to delete a current working
directory (unless you delve into horrible hacks like Cygwin does).
So this is a restriction of the platform on which you are working, and
there is nothing we can do about it, at least as far as I can think of.
Ciao,
Johannes
