[misc:1283] Cannot remove folder \\?\C:...

Post by asarian »

In Windows 10, 64-bit, running SABnzbd 1.0.3 [927ba3c] (as service), it's been several times now, that I got write errors while unpacking. At first I thought (looking at the web interface) that maybe the output file names path had gotten too long or something, but the log will say:

[misc:1283] Cannot remove folder \\?\C:\Program Files (x86)\SABnzbd\Downloads\incomplete\ (..) __ADMIN__

There's no reason SABnzbd, running with Administrator privileges, should not be able to delete its own __ADMIN__ directory, is there? (As these things go, it doesn't happen always.) Upon checking, it does seem to have written to the output directory just fine.

It usually is the virus-scanner which holds up deletion of files and folders.
Tell it to exclude the "incomplete" folder.
