User: I need to make a bat file that will clear  C:\Users\Admin\AppData\Local\Temp every so often. Whats the best way to do this? I am running selenium scripts that will use alot of temporary files. I want to do this without interrupting the selenium temporary things that might mess with ther operations. IT shouldnt delete anything in use right? Please create that bat file
Assistant: To create a batch file that will clear the `C:\Users\Admin\AppData\Local\Temp` folder periodically without interrupting your Selenium scripts, you can use the following steps. This batch file will delete only the files that are not in use, ensuring that your Selenium operations are not affected.

Here is the batch file content:

```batch
@echo off
setlocal

REM Define the path to the Temp folder
set TEMP_FOLDER=C:\Users\Admin\AppData\Local\Temp

REM Delete files older than 1 day
forfiles /p "%TEMP_FOLDER%" /s /m *.* /d -1 /c "cmd /c del /q @path"

REM Delete empty directories
for /f "delims=" %%i in ('dir "%TEMP_FOLDER%" /ad /b /s') do rd "%%i" 2>nul

endlocal
```

### Explanation:
1. **`@echo off`**: This command prevents the commands in the batch file from being displayed in the command prompt window.
2. **`setlocal`**: This command ensures that any changes made to the environment variables are local to the batch file.
3. **`set TEMP_FOLDER=C:\Users\Admin\AppData\Local\Temp`**: This sets the path to the Temp folder.
4. **`forfiles /p "%TEMP_FOLDER%" /s /m *.* /d -1 /c "cmd /c del /q @path"`**: This command deletes files in the Temp folder that are older than 1 day. The `/q` switch ensures that the deletion is quiet (no confirmation prompts).
5. **`for /f "delims=" %%i in ('dir "%TEMP_FOLDER%" /ad /b /s') do rd "%%i" 2>nul`**: This command deletes empty directories within the Temp folder. The `2>nul` part suppresses error messages if the directory is not empty.

### How to Use:
1. Open Notepad or any text editor.
2. Copy and paste the above batch file content into the text editor.
3. Save the file with a `.bat` extension, for example, `ClearTemp.bat`.
4. You can schedule this batch file to run periodically using Task Scheduler in Windows.

### Scheduling the Batch File:
1. Open Task Scheduler.
2. Click on "Create Basic Task".
3. Follow the wizard to set the task name, trigger (e.g., daily), and action (start a program).
4. Browse to the location of the batch file and select it.
5. Finish the wizard to create the scheduled task.

This approach ensures that only files not in use are deleted, minimizing the risk of interrupting your Selenium scripts. If you need further assistance, feel free to ask!

Title: Android emulator command always log an error (Storing crashdata ...

I'm currently installing Android Studio on my Mac Mini M1 (after a factory reset), but I got an error using the emulator command (from android SDK), each time I run it, the first output line is the following error:
For example:
So this is not related to any of the existing AVD (there is only a single AVD, but I got this error even if I remove it).
This is really painful because I develop using React Native who use the emulator -list-avds internally to start the first available AVD, but the react-native android command consider it should use the AVD named "INFO | Storing crashdata in: /tmp/android-gregoire/emu-crash-34.1.18.db, detection is enabled for process: 4832" that obviously doesn't exist.
Also when I go to the error folder /tmp/android-gregoire/emu-crash-34.1.18.db, there is nothing relevant, only empty folders attachments, completed, new, pending and a file settings.dat that contain sdPC����;A�$��ٽB`.
I have customised Android environment variables to use an external storage:
And excepted the error with emulator, the installation appear to be workin: I can compile and run my react native app (I just need to launch the right emulator manually first).
My environment:
I don't find any information on the internet about a related problem.
Does anyone have any more information?
Thanks for help.
Ok, this is what works for me on my mac:
Download Android Emulator (33.1.24) Stable from https://developer.android.com/studio/emulator_archive and overwrite the existing folder in ~/Library/Android/sdk (if that's where your sdk is).
Run emulator -list-avd manually, confirm the macOS permissions in System Preferences, and then run it a second time to see the INFO log line gone.
IF for some reason this doesn't work, go back to an older Stable release from that page.
While a workaround made the trick for some of you as explained by NorseGaud, it doesn't seem to fix it for me.
Even if you're going back to an older version like the 33.1.24 through the emulator archive, Android Studio doesn't seem to detect the version you are using if you take a look at the SDK Manager - they even want you to update to the newest version. Android Studio not detecting it also means you can't boot a phone through the application, nevertheless you can do so through a terminal.
Also, if you're trying to go back to a Android Emulator 33 and you're trying to launch "react-native run-android", the command still says that no connected devices can be found. Metro can't reload the phone as the emulator can't be found by itself even if you started manually the emulator through "emulator -avd <device_name>".
I am not sure that only going back to an older Stable version fix it. Also the fact that Android Studio doesn't detect it and that you can't change the version through the SDK Manager feels a little pity.
As the update is really new and we are far from being the only ones, I really hope they just throw a fix for that "Storing crashdata" error. That would be the best fix.

这个方法很好用，下载这个压缩包之后，把压缩包解压到你的 \android\sdk 目录里，替换掉原来的emulator文件夹，然后重启电脑就可以了。👍👍👍
This method is very easy to use, after downloading this package, extract the package into your \android\sdk directory, replace the original emulator folder, and then restart the computer.👍👍👍
I encountered this issue today after my emulator crashed during shutdown. The issue was resolved by reinstalling the Android Emulator tool in Android Studio (Tools -> SDK Manager -> SDK Tools).

Title: The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another ...

I have a function to write log to a text file:
The function is called from multiple places, so I use Mutex to make sure only 1 process is accessing the file.
It was working perfectly until I upgraded to .Net 8, I hit the error "The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process." intermittently. Looks like the file is not being released sometimes.
It only happen when I deploy to Azure App Service, it is working fine in my local. Anyone please help...
Probably the file cannot be immediately accessed in some circumstances. To work around the problem, consider a loop and a try-catch statement that intercepts the specific exceptions and retries the operation. Maybe the mutex is not needed.
@Jimmy Koo You can try using the FileShare enumeration to specify the type of access other FileStream objects can have to the same file. For example, you can use the following code to open the file with read/write access and allow other FileStream objects to read from the file:
This code opens the file with the Append FileMode, which means that new data is written to the end of the file. The FileAccess.Write parameter specifies that the file is opened with write access, and the FileShare.Read parameter specifies that other FileStream objects can read from the file while it is open.
You can also consider using a logging framework like Serilog or NLog, which provide built-in support for file locking and can handle concurrent writes to the same file. These frameworks also offer additional features like log rotation and filtering, which can be useful in a production environment.
Regarding the issue happening only in Azure App Service, it could be related to the way the App Service scales out instances and handles file locking across multiple instances. You can try using a centralized logging service like Azure Monitor, which can aggregate logs from multiple instances and provide a more scalable and reliable solution for logging in a cloud environment.
Let me know if you have any further questions or concerns by replying to this answer. Otherwise, if you find this helpful, please consider accepting it as the answer.

Normally, accessing the temp folder as administrator is easy but sometimes, you may keep losing access and get folder access denied. You’ve probably come across the temp folder when you needed to quickly do a PC cleanup and optimize performance.
If you previously had access to your Temp folder but can’t access it anymore, it could be due to corrupt system files or a change in user profile settings. A folder’s access denied error can occur on any folder that is restricted and requires administrator-level permissions.
If you’re trying to access folders with restricted permissions, you must be using an administrator account. In case your user profile is corrupt, the built-in administrator account bypasses these errors and may allow you access.
Corrupt system files can restrict access to the folder or even prevent files in the temp folder from deleting.
The Temp folder is primarily used to unload the PC from bulk files and optimize performance, If none of these methods work, other alternatives to achieve the same results include:
Still, on the same folder, you may get the Your temp folder is invalid error message so don’t hesitate to check out our guide on how to fix it. In future, when you want to delete files from the Temp folder, ensure you do so safely to prevent any issues.

The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.

How do we have it continue if we get this error?
