Sabnzbd can’t delete __ADMIN__ folder in temp directory

Post by Suh4il »

Hi

Has anyone seen an issue where Sabnzbd can’t cleanup the temp download folder as it does not have permission to delete the __ADMIN__ folder? This started occurring recently after I upgraded to the latest version and is consistent across all my downloads. I’m also on the Windows Fall Creator edition.

I also can’t manually delete the folder, Windows saying I don’t have permission or even view or change the permissions.

Thanks

Seems like a permissions issue possibly caused by virusscanner.
What happens after a restart of the system? Is sabnzbd able to remove it then?

Yes after restart the __ADMIN__ folder disappears and then I can cleanup the temp download folder.

Just confirmed it is Webroot causing the issue, sabnzbd works when Webroot is disabled. Just have to figure out why it has changed behaviour.

Maybe just exclude the SABnzbd temp folder, then it will still scan the results when extracting.
