Title: load_dataset fails with FileNotFound error on Windows
State: closed

### Describe the bug

Although I can import and run the datasets library in a Colab environment, I cannot successfully load any data on my own machine (Windows 10) despite following the install steps:

(1) create conda environment 
(2) activate environment
(3) install with: ``conda` install -c huggingface -c conda-forge datasets`

Then

```
from datasets import load_dataset

# this or any other example from the website fails with the FileNotFoundError
 glue = load_dataset("glue", "ax")
```

**Below I have pasted the error omitting the full path**:

```
raise FileNotFoundError(
FileNotFoundError: Couldn't find a dataset script at C:\Users\...\glue\glue.py or any data file in the same directory. Couldn't find 'glue' on the Hugging Face Hub either: FileNotFoundError: [WinError 3] The system cannot find the path specified: 
'C:\\Users\\...\\.cache\\huggingface'
```


### Steps to reproduce the bug

On Windows 10 

1) create a minimal conda environment (with just Python)
(2) activate environment
(3) install datasets with: ``conda` install -c huggingface -c conda-forge datasets`
(4) import load_dataset and follow example usage from any dataset card. 

### Expected behavior

The expected behavior is to load the file into the Python session running on my machine without error.

Okay, this is the issue:
```
FileNotFoundError: [WinError 3] The system cannot find the path specified: 
'C:\\Users\\...\\.cache\\huggingface'
``` 

I don't remember seeing this error before.

I guess it could happen in a multi-process environment if one of the processes deletes the `datasets` cache as the other one is loading a dataset (with `load_dataset`), so make sure that's not the case. Also, you can disable the Windows max path length limit (if enabled), but this is most likely not the problem.

Closing due to inactivity.
