Hi,
I used the Create Temp Folder node to create a temp folder, that will be deleted on reset (by default), in the workflow data directory. However that folder was not deleted but still present and causing issues.
| Parent URL | Is Visible? | Last Modified Date | URI | Directory | Hidden | Size | Size (human readable) | Last modified | Permissions | Exists |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| file:/E:/Knime-Workspace/REDACTED/ | true | 2024-02-04T12:44:08.0 | URI: file:/E:/Knime-Workspace/REDACTED/data/; EXT: | true | false | ? | ? | ? | ? | ? |

Error
ERROR List Files/Folders 4:1839:0:1837:0:1410 Execute failed: Unable to access E:\Knime-Workspace\REDACTED\data\tmp-credentials\knimetemp-1d990d0a17164a37
I tried replciating it but to no avail. later on, the folder finally vanished w/o any deletion actions done by me. The folder in question was shown in the explorer and in PowerShell / CMD but each threw errors about insufficient rights respectively.
I will keep an eye on it but eventually anyone already has an idea. Also FYI, the partition is extFAT and OS is Windows 11.
Cheers
Mike
