  Hello ,

  I recently set up a SQL database audit to record a few sessions.

  The audit configuration is well done with retention of 2 files

  Everything works correctly except that in the error log I have this message which indicates that SQL server can no longer delete the old audit file because it seems to me that it is still running

  Do you have any idea how I can fix it?

  Tthanks

  Set the nessesary exclusion on any scanning software, use handle/procmon to see if anyone / anything is using the file when SQL tries the delete.

   

  Error 32 is “ERROR_SHARING_VIOLATION” something else is holding a file lock so SQL cannot delete it.
