When I execute a backup the 1st time it is OK but when I delete some stuff from the source folder and execute a 2nd time I get the following error message:

Can not delete folder "C:\VVTest\DestFolder". The directory is not empty.

I believe this is because there is at least one hidden file in DestFolder. Is ViceVersa unable to delete hidden files?

No, I'm not excluding any files in the profile settings. I need all files to be backed up - hidden ones too.

Hi, is ViceVersa failing to delete the hidden file in that folder? thanks

The error message says:

"Can not delete folder "C:\VVTest\DestFolder". The directory is not empty."

Windows would normally say "The directory is not empty" if you try to delete a directory with at least one hidden file in it. I think you should include a checkbox to either ignore or include hidden files.

I'm not sure, but I am able to delete the parent folder and all files manually using Windows Explorer. Its only VV that throws the error message.
