Deleting file, but is access denied
I also had the problem, hence me stumbling on this post. I added the following line of code before and after a Copy / Delete.
Delete
File.SetAttributes(file, FileAttributes.Normal);File.Delete(file);Copy
File.Copy(file, dest, true);File.SetAttributes(dest, FileAttributes.Normal);
Building upon the answer - For me I had to set the folder and the files inside it to normal attributes.
DirectoryInfo directory = new DirectoryInfo("/path/to/file"); directory.Attributes = FileAttributes.Normal; foreach (FileInfo file in directory.GetFiles()) { file.Attributes = FileAttributes.Normal; }
