Deleting snapshot folder

  • Hello,

    i hv implemented merge replication and while doing that a snapshot folder was generated over the network path.

    now whenever i create a new publication the respective snapshot files are copied under the publication folder name.

    my problem is that when i try to delete this folder i get an access denied error saying the files are in use.

    i even tried by removing the replication setup but still it gives the same.

    the folder size is increasing and i m not able to delete the files.

    Plz help me out

  • Hi,

    Have you tried un-sharing the snapshot folder, then deleting? Even better, have you considered deleting files that are not required to control space usage?

    Hope this helps,
