trouble deleteing contents of SBIE [SOLVED]

Post by sanbox man » Sat Dec 10, 2016 7:05 pm

I am getting the following error message when I try to
delete contents of SBIE:

Delete Sandbox DefaultBox: Could not move the sandbox folder out of the
way
The object (file or folder) may be in use by another program.
Close any applications or windows that may prevent the access.
System Error Code Access is denied (5)

After a few attempts it does delete them, eventually.
64 bit Windows 8.1, McAfee, ReHIPS 2.2,

Sanbox man,

Can you please make sure all of your applications are terminated, then try this process again and let us know if you still experience issues?

sanbox man,

If you have the Sandbox set to delete contents automatically, then it will delete as soon as you terminate all programs. Otherwise, "Terminate all programs" does just that, closes everything that is currently running in the Sandbox.

Please see the FAQ for further info regarding Delete:

"Delete invocation:
The contents of this sandbox can be automatically deleted when the last sandboxed
program ends and the sandbox becomes inactive"
How many minutes before sandboxed gets deleted for "becomes active" to apply?

sanbox man,

The contents are deleted as soon as the last program is terminated.

To test it:
Create a new Sandbox and set it to automatically delete contents.
Launch a Browser inside the Sandbox.
Right-click on the Sandbox --> Terminate programs
Once there are no more programs running in the Sandbox, right-click on the Sandbox and select "Delete contents" (you should receive a message stating there is nothing to delete).

Regards,
Barb.-

In SBIE control click on Sandbox --> Create New Sandbox and give it a name
Right click on your newly created Sandbox ---> Sandbox settings
Delete---> Delete Invocation ---> Automatically delete contents of Sandbox
