I can't delete this file that was created after a canceled mirror sync.
What do I do?
it says:
Cannot delete file "PATH"
ERROR_BAD_NETPATH
Cannot read file attributes of Z:\
ERROR_BAD_NETPATH
Cannot delete ffs_tmp file

Something broke your connection to the network share

Well yes, that would explain why the sync failed initially.
But now the connection is restored and I still can't delete the ffs_tmp file.
Anytime I try, with windows, mac, freefilesync, it takes a really long time to do anything and then returns with an error saying they can't delete it.
So what do I do now?

Windows tells you why you can't delete it, what is the reason? Permission error? The file does not exist? Directory corrupt or not accessible?

Hey hey! Apologies for the super late reply.
Lost track of this issue and just ignored it.
If I try to delete the file, Windows will try for a very long time and if I remember correctly it was a permission error.

As reported before, this issue is often resolved by a restart of your computer.

For Windows,to completely remove FreeFileSync use Revo uninstaller. It will uninstall anything. I will remove everything in the registry. It is the best uninstaller I ever used.

That is not at all relevant to the question proposed...

I checked again and funny enough, the file is gone...
I swear I had tried to restart the PC and it was still there.
But oh well, right now it's gone so the problem is currently solved.
Guess to prevent this in the future is to make sure that a sync process isn't interrupted
