Cannot delete uploaded file

[Joe]

Hi,
I'm using the latest radupload in 2008 Q2 (VB)

I'm uploading a single file, and using the FileExists functionality. Nothing spectacular going on and it uploads just fine.

The problem is once the file is uploaded, I cannot delete the file using Windows Explorer. I get (Cannot delete imagename: Access is denied. Make sure the disk is not full or write protected and that the file is not currently in use.) I am an administrator on the machine so it shouldn't be a permissions issue. I can delete other files without problems. Again, I'm deleting manually, not via .NET.

I think dispose() may need to be called at some point, but I'm not really doing much in the code-behind other than the following. Any help would be greatly appreciated...

Protected

Sub RadUpload1_FileExists(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As UploadedFileEventArgs) Handles RadUpload1.FileExists
lblMsg.ForeColor = Drawing.Color.Red
lblMsg.Text = "Filename already exists! Filenames must be unique."
fileexists = True 'This variable is declared globally
End Sub

 

Protected Sub btnUpload_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs) Handles btnUpload.Click
If Not fileexists Then
Dim fname As String = RadUpload1.UploadedFiles.Item(0).GetName
lblMsg.ForeColor = Drawing.Color.Green
lblMsg.Text = "Successfully Uploaded: " & fname
End If
End Sub

I ended up completely changing directions with this feature. So no solution... sniff sniff

Hi Joe Hakooz,

When you try to delete the file - are you sure that the file is completely uploaded on the server? Do you have permissions to delete files from that folder?

I tried this locally, but could not manage to reproduce it.

Let us know the steps to reproduce it.

All the best,

Thanks for the response.

Unfortunately I could not resolve this so I changed the way I'm doing things. Basically, I am now uploading and deleting via code and it works just fine.

The problem may have been related to permissions on my server, but I'm an administrator and can delete any other files except the ones uploaded by RadUpload. And to answer your question, the files seemed to be completely uploaded. (JPGs and other small files.)

If I come across any more info or answers to my last problem I'll try to post them here....

Thanks

Hi Joe,

Just a hint - you can use SysInternals Process Explorer to check if the file is locked by some process...

That could come in handy. Thanks!
