Intermittent "Error occured when deleting temporary VFP files: File Error (1)" when performing Database Optimise, triggered by other (FoxPro) batch jobs (such as consolidations) running in background

Troubleshooting


Problem

User launches Controller, chooses 'single user mode' and performs a 'traditional' (unscheduled "in-place") database optimise.
After a few minutes, at the bottom-left of the screen, the process indicator says 'Removing Temporary FoxPro Tables...'.
User then receives error message.

Symptom

Error occured when deleting temporary VFP files: File Error (1)
OK
