Been using FreeFileSync for a long time. Thank you for making such a great tool.

Recently updated after about 9 months of no use. Now I'm getting a bunch of Code 183 errors like the following. All different folders and file types. Cant figure out why I have 258 files that error out each time I run it.

6:31:02 PM Error Cannot move file
"E:\shared\mattamy homes\FINAL BOULDER CREEK ENTRANCE MONUMENT 2-6-15~a729.ffs_tmp" to
"E:\shared\mattamy homes\FINAL BOULDER CREEK ENTRANCE MONUMENT 2-6-15.pdf".
Error Code 183: Cannot create a file when that file already exists. [MoveFileEx]

The files do indeed exist at the destination. When FFS does a compare it does not show them as there but they are. Then it tries and fails.

Delete "E:\shared\mattamy homes\FINAL BOULDER CREEK ENTRANCE MONUMENT 2-6-15.pdf" and try the sync again. See if the same file has an issue
