The script isn't working

[Mikede78]

I updated the script with how many days to delete but its not doing anything when I run it. Can you help?

Can you create another batch file, and paste this inside?
qbt.cmd > batch.log 2>&1

Then run the batch file. Afterwards, check log file to see the error.

I keep getting the message below. I tried a restart and then ran th bat file again still got the same message. The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process. C:\qbt>

Have you run it as admin?

[Mikede78]

Yes I did. I attached a video of it. In case it doesn't work, I'm sharing it through google drive. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1MRGF5yQgkjRDiZqUkUh-YHqsuzmMaHVB/view?usp=sharing

I meant as "run qbt.cmd as admin" 😃 , still this shows something else is running files.

[Mikede78]

Sorry for the confusion. So you want me to run the bat file with qbt.cmd > batch.log 2>&1, first and then run the qbt.cmd?

You ran the bat file and saw "The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another
process."

You are trying to run a batch file (qbt.cmd) under C drive, which Windows' is asking you via UAC (or whatever it is now), you might be hitting something qbt.cmd can't bypass. This is "last update 2y ago" script, might be anything.

[Mikede78]

Yeah the UAC only prompts when something requires admin promissions. Can you explain how to use the logging in more detail?

My knowledge about scripts is limited. You can try LockHunter or any other app you can find to see which process is using the file.

[Mikede78]

Ok no problem. Do you have the script running?
