Error when Git rebase --quit, --continue, and --abort

Question

I'm trying to rebase my QA branch to main branch, and it was asking me to resolve the conflicts. There were some issues that I needed to solve first so I did git rebase --abort. then I tried to continue with git rebase --continue but failed with errors. Then I also try git rebase --quit and git rebase --abort but also had errors. Anyone knows what was wrong with it? Thank you in advance!

PS C:\Users\Desktop\SDP-React> git rebase --abort
warning: could not read '.git/rebase-merge/head-name': No such file or directory
PS C:\Users\Desktop\SDP-React> git rebase --quit
Deletion of directory '.git/rebase-merge' failed. Should I try again? (y/n) n
error: could not remove '.git/rebase-merge'
PS C:\Users\Desktop\SDP-React> git rebase main
fatal: It seems that there is already a rebase-merge directory, and
I wonder if you are in the middle of another rebase.  If that is the
case, please try
        git rebase (--continue | --abort | --skip)
If that is not the case, please
        rm -fr ".git/rebase-merge"
and run me again.  I am stopping in case you still have something
valuable there.

If there is noting in .git/rebase-merge, your safe bet is to delete that folder, and reset --hard your repository, to go back to a state before the rebase.

Then you can try the rebase again, and resolve conflicts again.

Note: the .git folder itself is hidden, so you need to configure your Windows File Explorer to display "Hidden items".

Once the folder is deleted, a new rebase can indeed take place, as the OP Thi Nguyen confirms in the comments.
