I keep getting [Can not delete folder "directory path". The directory is not empty.] [ERROR] when using method: Backup (mirror source to target). The target folders cannot be deleted. The following is a part from the log.

Deleting folder D:\Sites\DRIVERS\ [Can not delete folder "D:\Sites\DRIVERS\". The directory is not empty.] [ERROR].

It looks like VV wants to remove the directory D:\Sites\DRIVERS\ but it is not empty. Do you have excluded files in there or conflict files?

Ok, this is a limitation of ViceVersa. The new build 2010 will have the option to exclude empty folders or folders whose files have been excluded. Are you doing a sync or a replication?

Are the excluded files in the target but not in the source?

Can we setup excluded files in Target or source only? The folders which could net be deleted have some excluded files in them.

Filters will apply to both source and target, it is not possible to apply filters only to source or only to target.
