Can not move some files

[Sl]

In versions prior 14, moving, for example, user profile folder from or to network location creates error "Unhandled exemption" on some system files. In v14+ on same files moving process pauses endlessly. Copying this files still working ok, so I think MC stuck on deleting system files.

Yes maybe..
Does it say anything more about the error in the FileOperatiopn Log ? (Ctrl+L, then click the fileoperation tab)

Same on v15.

[Mathias (Author)]

Yes. Nothing around that is changed.. No issue have been found.
Not been able to reproduce it.

[Mathias (Author)]

Does the files has readonly attribute, or permissions that prevent it from being deleted ?

[Sl]

Usually it's files with system atribute set, like desktop.ini. But MC running as elevated admin, so have to handle it.

[Mathias (Author)]

Attributes does not matte for admin or not. 
Permission can cause issue specially over the network. even if you are admin on your machine you might not be admin on remote machine.
Unless you are connected to a ActiveDirectory

Remote side is a Windows machines ? or a Linux NAS  ?

[Sl]

All Windows, i'm admin on both systems.

It looks like MC can delete folder with this files, can copy, but can not move.
May be it can help.

[Mathias (Author)]

I don't know. I cannot recreate that issue.

[AlanJB]

It looks like MC can delete folder with this files, can copy, but can not move.

@Sl

Are you sure your credentials allow you to delete from the source folder?

[Sl]

Yes, I'm sure. Another file manager has no issue with it.

I don't know. I cannot recreate that issue.

I can reproduce this issue. This is a very old bug, and I don’t understand why you are unable to reproduce it. For example, moving and replacing an existing file does not work in admin mode with protected files.
