Can't delete .ffs_TMP file

[mickiete]

There is one file which is a .ffs_tmp file, and each time I run sync it hangs at trying to delete this file, the I get the message in the picture about sharing. Have tried to delete with explorer but with no luck. Any ideas on what to do please.

When you try to delete it with File Explorer, the error will tell you what process is using it. Post a screenshot of that error message. Restarting would probably fix this as well.

On clicking delete is shows the graph window where is says "calculating". Then after 10 minutes it shows the attached picture.

thanks Windows, that's not useful in any way possible lol
Are you trying to delete the folder that the file is in, or the file itself? I usually see your error when something inside a folder can't be deleted.

its just a file. Had power cut during its backup, when I restarted the backup, each time FFS gets to this file it stops. So tried to delete it myself but it comes back with that error. I have even rebooted pc and it still wont go past it, or let me delete it.

Run a chkdsk on that drive then. Especially if you had a power loss, chkdsk is a good idea
