fix: dont warn on error cleaning individual log files

Thanks for the report @zdm! This was due to our new debug log behavior which opens a file descriptor for the debug log at the beginning of the process. We also attempt to clean out old log files, so what ended up happening was we were attempting to close a currently open file which causes that error on Windows. This is actually ok, so the change was just to not bubble up that error to the
warnloglevel and instead drop it to thesillylevel.This change should go out on Thursday, but let me know if you see any other weird behavior before that.

The problem is that this warnings are mixed with the command output and prevents to read it.
