225 folders

GAMS
1

Dear,

I’m running a GAMS model, but at the end it always gives an error not being able to delete de 225 directories. I have a DELL XPS 13 with windows 10 laptop(See below).

¿Does anybody know what the problem could be?
If I try the utility to delete the folders it says
Directories deleted :0
Directories not deleted : 6

Thanks and regards,

David

David,

You project directory location says it all: “Google Drive”. GAMS creates the scratch directory and on completion will delete this. Unfortunately, google drive already started to synchronize the file and and hold a handle to these file which will prevent GAMS from deleting the files. There is an entry about using a synchronized folder as a GAMS project directory: http://support.gams.com/gams:can_i_use_dropbox_with_gams

I was looking on the GAMS website for anything with the 225 folders, but they didn’t say anything about my problem.
I stopped the google drive syncing and indeed you are right the problem stopped occurring.

Thank you very much.
