  • 1.  Cleanup: Unable to delete generated zip file

    Posted Jun 26, 2012 06:17 PM

    I am finding the following message in the jointool-0.log in D:\Program Files\VMware\Infrastructure\tomcat\temp

    2011-11-30 14:49:28 INFO] Creating new record with data: id: '1073743327' data_type: 'Ldap.BackupLdif' bin_data: 'D:\Program Files\VMware\Infrastructure\tomcat\temp\backup3237451294326849558.zip' created_time: '2011-11-30 14:49:28.646' changeId: '24889'

    The zip files go back about year and take up about 2.5 GB.  It looks to have something to do with linked mode, which is working fine.

    Can I delete the files and why are they not being deleted?

    Just started a new role a few weeks ago and they're having this same problem on their vcenter server. Was there a solution for this? Is this a UAC thing?

    I am also seeing this.  At first I thought it was an issue with my VCenter Service account not having permission on the folder but that was not it.  Does anyone have any ideas on this?

    I had one issue like that when I was deleting a vcsupport file which was at c:\documents and settings\ vmware\ support \ vc-support@blah-blah-balh-98-33-43.23-23.33.zip.

    i had to rename the file to a shorter version and I was able to delete the same. But the error message was not regarding the name being long, but of unable to delete only.

    Hope that helps.
