"error 550 action not taken IO error" when deletin

Post by fricfrac »

Trying to delete files I sometimes get "error 550 action not taken IO error"
Any ideas to the cause?
I'm using a PC connected to an Xbox via a router.

It could be because the file is currently opened or exclusively locked by another program/process, or the file simply can't be deleted by the server for a number of reasons (permission error, system file not allowed to be deleted, or hard drive problem - hope it's not the last one)... The error can be kind of vague though and the explanation is only as good as the server software is in explaining it.
