I have exactly the same problem. Under Windows 7 I get the message
expression (delete-file pdf-name):

C:/Program Files 
(x86)/LilyPond/usr/share/lilypond/current/scm/backend-library.scm:115:15: Permission 
denied


I know of course that TeXworks was designed expressly for TeX, but 
perhaps there is an easy way round this problem.
