Does it fail for that one directory only or for any directory?
Interesting question. I would have to do more tests with odd names,
but apparently both remove() and rename() have problems with
directories with a blank name.
In that case try a path with \\?\ prefix (unparsed path).
Does not work. I modified the relevant block like this:
if (exists(BlankDirToDelete))
{
string SafeToBeDeleted = buildPath(`\\?\`, SearchPath,
baseName(BlankDirToDelete));
writefln(`"%s"`, SafeToBeDeleted);
try
remove(SafeToBeDeleted);
catch (FileException e)
writeln(e.msg);
try
remove(`\\?\` ~ SafeToBeDeleted);
catch (FileException e)
writeln(e.msg);
}
The result?
"d:\ "
d:\ : Access denied.
\\?\d:\ : Access denied.
This happens even while executing the prompt as administrator, so it's
not a problem of file privileges. Note that from the Windows explorer I
am also having problems renaming or deleting the problematic directory,
however with something else like Total Commander, I can both rename and
delete with no issues.
