ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED: Access is denied. [DeleteFile]

[Webguy1]

I'm getting some error messages in my logs relating to deleting files on the "sync to" drive.

Can anyone explain what could be causing this and how to resolve?

Thank you.

Anyone?

Looks like a permission issue on the "server"

It is very strange, because it is just a hard drive hanging off my router. FFS successfully synced thousands of files, but these few files it could not delete. I was able to easily delete them from the drive just through windows explorer.

Just had the same error message:
Cannot delete file "\\DRIVE\FOLDER\sync.ffs_db.cd6f.ffs_tmp".
ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED: Access is denied. [DeleteFile]

All folder permissions on the NAS (server) and Win11 were fine. Not sure what the problem was, but the cure was simply adding another file to the folder and running FFS again. Once I did that, the above file in question deleted correctly and all was well in my FFS world again!

...I couldn't tell you why though
