Renaming / Moving for One series won't work - folder in use

Help & Support
1

I have one particular series where some files didn’t move so I put them in the Drone folder to force them to move, but it keeps saying the folder is in use.

The folder is not in use though, I have even restarted the server (computer) on a fresh boot and still says the same thing. Here is the log error that is given.

14-10-18 01:19:55.3|Warn|EpisodeFileMovingService|Unable to set last write time

Also using ProcessExplorer program, nothing shows to be using this folder.

That error would be thrown after the file was already moved, if the folder (maybe a sub-folder as well) is open in Windows Explorer/cmd/something else you will see that error, since Windows treats it as in-use.

That’s what I thought but I restarted the computer, made sure no windows were open, and made sure the file was still there which it is…

Very strange.

It is still stuck too…which makes no sense…that folder is not being used. I am also to rename that Folder so I know it is not being used.

Edit:
I finally got it to go, not sure what was going on, thanks for your support as always!

Any chance its on a share and was open from another system?
