deleting files

Postby cj1067 » Wed Mar 09, 2011 12:42 am

I told newsbin to delete a rather large file while downloading another. The out of disk space message box appeared. Apparently the newsbin stopped trying to delete the file. After deleting a few other files off the drive and clicking OK in the message box, newsbin never continued trying to delete the file leaving 100Meg tmpfile.del. file. I did give it an about hour before manually deleting it from explorer. I have also noticed that if I tell newsbin to delete one or more files, then exit out of the program too quickly, not all the files may be deleted. They are removed from the list, not the disk. Maybe when a bunch of files are deleted within newsbin, it should immediately rename all the files to something like tmpfile_1.del, tmpfile_2.del, etc... so that when newsbin is restarted, it can scan the download folders and continue the delete process.

Yeah, something worth thinking about.
