my log file states: "Delete: 15 items 32.1M [168/168 hrs, 63.7G/165.0G, 159.2G free] 1 locked"
How can I find/view the locked file?

Re: Find locked file
Hi, did the full message state where it was working ? See here for a similar "locked" issue without resolution. In this case the locked file was in "New":

I think the idea of deleting everything (If your recycle bin is big enough) from the folder might prove which file it is, but it does seem a bit like using a sledgehammer to crack a walnut
Maybe the first step is to go back to BI Status and tick the box to save the log as a text file in case it shows any more info. Don't forget to untick it later though.

Re: Find locked file
Hey TimG
When I view the log (within Blue Iris Status) it lists "New" in the "Object" column. I presume "New" refers to the folder the file is in???
All my files are in one folder, on a local SSD, called "New". I don't sort/move files into any other folders. I auto delete after 7 days. Nothing else on that drive.
My logs are always saved as text files. Should they not be?

Re: Find locked file
Hi, that does mean it is the "New" folder - I wonder if it's as simple as you had clicked to Protect a file ?
As for logs, it's up to you. I have it turned off unless I need a record of what is happening.

Re: Find locked file
I had a stranded clip in my list that kept giving me locked errors. I just rebuilt the DB and it went away.

Re: Find locked file
That brings up something I've wondered about...how does one know that there's been a DB error without matching the files counts to the alerts and so on? I've never seen a DB error that I know of, but to be honest I've never really looked for one.
