Im trying to get the boards package for esp8266 in Arduino IDE but its refusing with

Failed to install platform: esp8266:esp8266.
Error: 13 INTERNAL: Cannot install tool esp8266:xtensa-lx106-elf-gcc@3.0.4-gcc10.3-1757bed: moving extracted archive to destination dir: rename C:\Users\Don\AppData\Local\Arduino15\tmp\package-845806339\xtensa-lx106-elf c:\Users\Don\AppData\Local\Arduino15\packages\esp8266\tools\xtensa-lx106-elf-gcc\3.0.4-gcc10.3-1757bed: Access is denied.

In the preferences I usedhttp://arduino.esp8266.com/stable/package_esp8266com_index.json
but it fails Have I used an old link ? or is it something else
My ESP32 boards went in fine using
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/espressif/arduino-esp32/gh-pages/package_esp32_index.json

but I am having no luck with the ESP8266 one which is a shame as I just ordered 10 new 8266 boards

Can someone sugest a way around this please

My ESP8266 boards link is

https://arduino.esp8266.com/stable/package_esp8266com_index.json

It installed with no problem and ESP8266 boards work OK. The only difference from your URL is that mine is https: and yours is http: but I have no idea if that is causing your problem
