    The error message indicates that Composer is unable to delete a directory (HTMLPurifierEntityLookup) during the installation process.

    Solution 1: If you have an antivirus program running, temporarily disable it and then run the composer require maatwebsite/excel command again. Antivirus programs can sometimes lock files and prevent them from being deleted during the installation process.

    Solution 2: Open a command prompt as an administrator and then run the composer require maatwebsite/excel command. Running Composer with elevated privileges might help overcome permission issues.

    Solution 3: You can try manually deleting the problematic directory mentioned in the error message (C:UsersreturnDesktoptask_project_crud/vendor/composer/389c7ae0ezyang-htmlpurifier-bbc513dlibraryHTMLPurifierEntityLookup). After that, run the composer require maatwebsite/excel command again.
