Crashes when attempting to move specific files

[beryube]

Hello there,
I just installed your gta5 root folder cleaner and when I wanted to "clean" the folder. The App would just close and not clean the folder.
Hope you can help me,
Thanks.

Could you try running the app from Command Prompt at show me what it says?

I experience the same problem. This is what happens:

1. I open the gta5cleaner.exe
2. I type "clean" and press enter
3. It immediately closes the command prompt (so no error visible)
4. One or two seconds after that, it moves a part of the files to /modstore

After that happened:

1. I manually place the rest of the mod files in the /modstore
2. It cleans/restores fine now

Then, after playing "cleaned": it still works as intended
After playing "restored" (with mods): the same thing is happening again

Also, the first time I used the program (with "clean") in my modded GTA V directory, I also had to manually remove some files.

I hope the problem is clear to you. If not, feel free to ask.

Edit: these are all files/folders it doesn't move to /modstore:

Could you open your GTA 5 folder in command prompt and then run the following command:
gta5cleaner.exe
then
clean
and then show me what it says?

Well, I would love to do that. But one problem: it works now. 🤔
Quite strange tho, it didn't work multiple times on multiple days. When I encounter it again, I will do what you asked.

Edit: checking it every day, but it still didn't happen. Still using your very useful program, so if I will ever encounter any problems, I'll let you know. It apparently solved itself or something.

I finally faced this issue once again. I did what you asked, and this was the response:

Thank you, looks like a permission error then, perhaps some other program is using the file so it's not allowed to be moved. Are you sure GTA 5 and any related programs were completely closed before you ran the script?

[Menno02]

Good question. Maybe I can reproduce it this weekend. I will try to answer your question then, if I have any news.

[ganeshh123]

Thank you! I don't really play GTA 5 anymore, if I made some changes would you be willing to test them out for me?

[Menno02]

If that is easy to test for me, yes, sure.
