| Description: |
On 2 Windows Vista machines I've tried running file delete -force will sometimes return the error, "error deleting filename: file already exists". This doesn't really make any sense, since of course the file exists or I wouldn't be deleting it. Attached is a script to show the problem and result files from two Vista machines. This is using TCL ActiveState ActiveTcl 8.5.8.0.291595 threaded. | |||

I'm also seeing this on 8.6.0 threaded, on a cifs-mounted filesystem. Workaround here is to retry after several msec. dunkfan added on 2010-09-03 16:56:44: Also seen sporadically on Win7 64bit dual core machine. Tcl 8.5.5 threaded. pherricoxide added on 2010-05-25 01:28:15: Result of script, Deleted C:/vvv Deleted C:/vvv error deleting "C:/vvv": file already exists error deleting "C:/vvv\foo": permission denied error deleting "C:/vvv\foo": permission denied Deleted C:/vvv Deleted C:/vvv error deleting "C:/vvv": file already exists Deleted C:/vvv error deleting "C:/vvv": file already exists Deleted C:/vvv Deleted C:/vvv Deleted C:/vvv pherricoxide added on 2010-05-25 01:27:05: File Added - 375021: filedel.tcl | |||
