Question

I’m creating a zip file using the class FastZip from SharpZipLib and once I after I close the program, I cannot delete the file because:

‘Cannot delete zip.zip: It is being used by another person or program. Close any programs that might be using the file and try again.’

The code that is generating the file is simply this:

fZip.CreateEmptyDirectories = true; fZip.CreateZip(filesPath + '\\' + this.zipName, filesPath, false, this.zipFilter); 

I tried using:

            using (FastZip fZip = new FastZip())             {                 try                 {                     fZip.CreateEmptyDirectories = true;                     fZip.CreateZip(filesPath + '\\' + this.zipName, filesPath, false, this.zipFilter);                 }                 catch (Exception)                 {                 }             } 

But it doesn’t convert to iDisposable

Answer 1

Perhaps antivirus is busy checking the file? If not, then get a program that can tell you which programs have files open.

You can look at:

• Unlocker
• IARSN TaskInfo
