    syncbackfree error, says file is locked, f manager shows empty folder?


    why is this file not appearing in file manager?
    syncbackfree shows it's name with a backup error
    What's going on here? Dont like this strange issue.

    File manager is set to show hidden files.
    Has windows done something to this file like to prevent anyone from ever being able to see it is there, even though the backup program can see it?

    You may want to start by ruling out disk errors. From an ADMIN command prompt, enter "chkdsk /f c:" (not the quotes) and respond Y to whether it can be performed on system restart. Then reboot and see if chkdsk comes up with anything.

    It has no errors, I run a chkdsk /scan frequently which just looks for file system errors.

    I discovered more info about this file. It is a password protected self extracting zip file I downloaded months ago.
    I used to know the password, but who knows what it is now. Maybe I can figure it out.
    Funny huh?

    I marked solved as I think since it is password locked, there seems to be some issue with backing it up. I dont really get it, as it is just a file, but I did tell sync program to compress all the files that were being backed up and maybe that is why it errors. There is a compressed file of this file backed up in the 2backup folder so it did back it up.
