katlomas Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 I have just saved a photo and the file name is Untitled.png.0.pdnBak. Now I find that I can't delete it, move it or change the permissions. How do I get rid of it, please? TIA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pdnnoob Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 When you try to delete it, what is the error message that pops up?

katlomas Posted November 4, 2014 Author Share Posted November 4, 2014 It basically said you don't have permission to do anything with this file. I eventually did a restart and the file is no longer on my desktop. No idea what it was, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ego Eram Reputo Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 If you find it again try right-click and rename before trying to delete it. You might have run into a problem with the .pdnbak bit being interpreted as an unknown extension.

katlomas Posted November 4, 2014 Author Share Posted November 4, 2014 I'm afraid I couldn't do anything with the file, not even rename it. However, it's gone now and I won't worry about it unless it happens again. Thanks for the advice. Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
