BETA: PowerArchiver 2023 - 22.10.02

Obviously it’s an issue so very helpful… I would guess that iso files over 4gb cause some internal issue in listing code hence the lock… We will know more once Feb team fixes it, but reproducible report is 80% of the work already

Okay, thanks.

lets check this out, reporting back with results or questions.

thanks for the details

Created two 4.8+gig ISO files, mounted/unmounted them, extracted them and they deleted fine afterwards.
I’m downloading openSUSE-Tumbleweed-DVD-x86_64-Current.iso and trying with that.

Let me know if you did anything specific after which this ISO file became undeletable.

Thanks!

[drteeth]

I am doing nothing to these files. I cannot delete any OpenSuSE distros, I have both 13.2 distos and latest snapshots of Tumbleweed…that’s 4 in total; even after just turning on my computer. Done nothing to them at all. All I have to do is download and try to delete. I don’t know whether it is a size issue, but I could delete a Knoppix distro at 4.1 GB.

The on thing I have noticed, is that before the first delete attempt, which always fails, there are no locking processes. These show up (as per the above screenshot) only after the first failed attempt.

Basically, you downloaded this file and then when attempting to delete it it gives you the said error?
I’ve downloaded the same, file and it deleted just fine.
Please run me through the process starting with obtaining the file and deleting it at the end. What exactly goes on in between?
Let me know, I’ll give it a try.

[drteeth]

I can turn on my computer and do nothing and still cannot delete those files without an unlocking utility. I downloaded the files a good week or two ago.

It gets even more spooky. I d/l one of these files to another PC and have exactly the same problem. OS is the same, Win 7 x64.

<smoking gun=“”>Uninstalled PA and rebooted and COULD delete file. Re-installed PA and cannot delete file</smoking> . Saved my settings and reapplied them before trying the second delete (which failed).

I did save my settings before uninstalling - anybody want the reg file for testing?

[Socrates]

. . . you have preview turned on? Try turning it off (Alt-P) and see if that helps?

[drteeth]

@Socrates:

I did. Turning it off made no difference.

[Socrates]

Sorry. I thought it might help. I had some problem deleting files when preview was open in PA mini. I thought it was worth a try.

One other possibility. If you have that file type set to always use Volume Shadow Copy Support, it might keep the file open in explorer.

The last option is there is something about the partition (I assume that is J:?) that is causing the problem.

Hi,

See post #13 for some tests that I ran on another computer. Strangely, only my four OpenSuSE ISOs are affected.

In short, I can delete the files without PA installed.

Cheers

[Mili]

hmmm, lets try with your settings. If you can please send them over(in a cab file) to support at conexware dot com and I can try to reproduce that way.

Did you perform an installation of the said ISOs before attempting to delete them or can you reproduce it by just downloading the file and attempting to delete it right away after download?

thanks again!

[drteeth]

Just download and try and delete - that’s all I did on my test.
Email just sent, subject as per this thread.
Happy to test and fixes or send any further info.

Cheers

You are more than welcome.

Issue seems fixed, but the version installed is 15.01.05 not 15.01.06 as expected.

cool, ISO support has been improved as well… version is fine, thanks!

[drteeth]

Sorry to report but the problem is back. Using the latest version.

I am clearing out my Linux ISO folder and the issue has presented itself with the OpenSuSE 13.2 x64 ISO (I’m now using Tumbleweed). The file is locked by 5 explorer.exe processes.

I copied the file to a different computer and got the same problem.

I shall keep the file for testing purposes to check any fixes.
