_ADMIN_ folder not removing after post-processing

[seanvree81]

Running SABNZB as a windows service.

Everything works fine except after the post-processing is complete, SABNZB leaves a directory called \_ADMIN_ in the download folder and I have to go in and delete it manually.

Why is this?

[shypike]

Is that in the root of the temporary download folder
or is there a folder named after the job in which an __admin__ subfolder exists?

[seanvree81]

That's the Root dir of the temp download folder

[shypike]

If you remove that, does it keep coming back?
Do you use any Sorting functions, and if so which one and with which Sort expression?

[seanvree81]

NO, it doesn't come back. It's simply a leftover sub dir of a downloaded movie.

I'm not using any sorting. Only "labels".

[shypike]

I meant: does it get created every time a job completes?
Apart from that, we have never ever seen this behaviour and nobody complained about it before.
In combination with the Sort functions, I can imagine some peculiar scenarios that have this result.
But not with Sort off.
Bottom-line: I believe it happens on your system, but we will have a hard time doing anything about it.
If it happens frequently it would be useful to set logging to "Debug"
and send us the log file after it happens again.

it seems that the sub folder "_ADMIN_" is the leftover folder of the parent directory that gets moved to the finished folder.

Here is the log:

OK, so there's an admin folder inside the job folder, not in the root of "incomplete".
On Windows, you cannot remove folders that are accessed by other programs running on the system.
Anti-virus programs are a good example of this.
Can you try to exclude the "incomplete" folder from the anti-virus scan?
(Or any other software that scans the disk.)

Yeah, this is running on a windows server where all the data is on a LINUX NFS NAS, so the file permissions and "in use" rules don't apply.

I've already uninstalled all anti virus on the machine, and disabled all built-in firewall features.
