Frank, Where is a good place to get the latest org.lwdita plugin?

Maybe you can add a new issue for it on the DITA OT GitHub. You can manually delete the folder pluginsorg.lwdita and then run dita -install . @jelovirt What happens is that the dita process has a class loader which loads all the JAR libraries from plugins, and on Windows when a JAR library is locked by a plugin it cannot be deleted. So basically this means no plugin which has JAR libraries can be elegantly uninstalled on Windows using the dita command. I can confirm that the procedure of removing the plugin from the file system and then let DITA-OT rescan the plugin inventory by using dita install does indeed work. From Radu s answer I guess that this odd behavior might be limited to Windows and is not relevant on proper operating systems. But it might be worth checking it out.
