It happens on a bunch. I do get errors or overlong file names but this doesn't seem to be the case.

The fact is, that simply using execute shell using the same file name works. So this is a D problem.

It happens quite often and every time I can delete the files in file explorer.

It would really help if you post a stripped-down version of the code that exhibits the same problem. Otherwise we're just guessing what the real problem is.

It woudln't help. I'm dealing with over a million files and you'd need those files too.

But basically all I have done is created a new rename function:

void removeFile(string fn)
{
        if (!isDir(fn))
        {
                // remove(fn)
                setAttributes(fn, 0x80);
                auto ls = executeShell(`del /F /Q "`~fn~`"`);
if (ls.status != 0) throw new Exception("Cannot delete file `"~fn~"`!");
        }
}

And this works and functions appropriately.

The other code is basically just recursively going through the directory as standard practice using dirEntries and deleting certain files(it's a little more complex since there is some logic on the file name, but nothing touches the file except delete).
