AutoIT exe file cannot be deleted

[Divya_Jain]

Hi there!

I am new to AutoIT.

Ran a file upload script successfully.

Now, I created a small script, which is just clicking a button on a windows application. It ran few times, though it did not work(could be a different issue)

But what I am observing is a few times after running the script, If I want to modify the script and compile it again it, I am not able to.

The exe file requires an admin rights for deletion and it any way I cannot delete the file.

Ultimately I have to restart my computer to see that the file is deleted and I can work again with the file normally.

I am not able to get to the root cause of the issue, Can someone help me with this please.

Thanks in advance.

Maybe the process is sill running in the background.

From the command prompt, just run below command.

 

taskkill /f /im your_exe_file.exe

It will close any running instances of your exe.

Thanks for the response, yes there were many instances running in the background.

It works fine now.
