Hi,

This issue can occur if any of the following scenarios exist on your PC.

• You do not have permissions to the file or the file location.
• The file is on a location that is not currently accessible like a network location or an external drive that is not currently connected to the PC.
• The file has been moved or deleted.
• The file or shortcut is corrupt.
• The file may be blocked by Windows.
• Your antivirus software may be blocking the file.

Click on Start, type device manager in the search box and press enter and check if you can open device manager. Refer to the help article:

Note: Make sure you re-enable the antivirus as well as the Windows Firewall since the computer might be at a risk of virus infection.

Hope it helps.

So - I used to have a directory called mysql a few revisions ago. I deleted it, and decided to start over - but when I try to create the new mysql directory - I keep running into the 'File Already Exists' error:

I saw some other posts suggest forcing an update

I had a problem like this when I deleted a folder (and sub-folders) and went to recreate them from scratch. You get this error from manually deleting and re-adding folders (whereas files seem to cope OK with this).

After some frustrating messing around, found I had to:
(using TortoiseSVN on Windows)

1. Move conflicting folders out of working copy (so that I don't lose my work-in-progress)
2. Do an svn update which added old files/folders back into working copy
3. svn delete folder
4. commit
5. Copy new folder back into working copy (ensuring you delete all the .svn folders inside)
6. commit

Unfortunately it (A) requires two commits, and (B) loses file revision history as it only tracks back to the recent re-add (unless someone can explain how to fix this). An alternative solution that works around these 2 issues is to skip steps 3 and 4, the only problem being that old/unnecessary files may still be present in your directory. You could delete these manually.

Would love to hear any additional insights others might have on this.

[Update] OK, I had this same problem again just then, but the offending folder was NOT in the last commit, so an update didn't restore it. Instead I had to browse the repository and delete the offending folder. I could then add the folder back in and commit successfully.

Had similar problem. To resolve it, updated from svn trunk with option of priority of local files.

After You could commit as usual. Of course, be careful using it.

already had this type of problem.

my solution was:

delete the folder from svn but keep a copy of the folder somewhere, commit the changes.in the backup-copy, delete recursively all the .svn-folders in it. for this you might run

delete the local repository and re-check out entire project.don't know whether partial deletion/checkout are sufficient.

I managed to work around it by reverting back to the last version that I had the mysql directory in, then deleting the contents of the directory, putting the new contents in it, and checking the new information back in. Although I'm curious if anyone has a better explanation for what the heck was going on there.

This is a nasty one.. mysterious error and no clear fix.

update/revert/commit did NOT work in my situation. I hadn't done anything weird - just some svn moves.

What DID work for me was:

Weird to say the least. Basically, the svn remove --force offender wasn't doing completely removing for some reason. Which is sort of what the error message was saying. Only by removing the parent, then updating the parent, did this become obvious because then the offender reappeared! svn removing offender again then properly removed it.

I'm not sure if this is helping you, but I guess that when you do a svn add mysql after you've deleted it it will just reinstantiate the directory (so don't do a mkdir yourself). If you create a directory yourself svn expects a .svn directory inside it because it already 'knows' about it.

1. rename the new path to temp
2. revert the new path (not temp!) so svn does not try to commit it
3. commit the rest of your changes
4. copy the path inside the repository: svn copy -m 'copied path' -r
5. update your working copy
6. mv all files from temp to the new path, which comes from the update
7. commit your local changes since revision
8. Have a nice Day including history ;-)

I had this problem on a project I run on Netbeans. I simply right clicked on the file and update to fix it (after SVN up).

This solution merges smoothly and does not lose history:

1. Move /working-copy/offender to a temporary location.
2. Do an svn checkout of svn+ssh://svn.example.com/repo/offender to /working-copy/offender.
3. Manually move your files from the temporary location into the new checkout.
4. Delete the temporary location.

I ran into this problem today when Xcode crashed during a branch merge. Somehow the file was uploaded to the svn repository but it wasn't recorded in the svn db properly. I ran the following commands in the directory where the file existed locally:

Then I re-added the file from my local system:

Success!

This situation occured if there are object in repository, which creates by current transaction.

Simple scenario:

1. checkout some directory two times, as DIR1 and DIR2
2. make 'svn mkdir test' in both
3. make commit from DIR1
4. try to make commit DIR2 (without svn up), SVN shall return this error

Same thing when adding same files from two working copies.

As per Atmocreation's solution, except you don't need to re-checkout the whole project, which is useful if you have existing work in progress.

Let's say you have a working copy:

which contains directories:

and you're getting the error message on commit:

File Already Exists At The Install Path In Word

Backup the contents of bar somewhere:

Delete the .svn control directories from the backup. Make sure you get this command right, or you can do pretty serious damage!! Delete them manually if you're unsure.

Double check that the copy is identical:

Remove the offending directory from the working copy: cd /foo rm -rf bar

And then restore it from the repository:

Copy back the modified files from backup:

You should now be able to commit without the error.

What you need is the svn 'export' command. With this you can put a file or entire directory tree in the state of another revision in another branch.

So something like

The problem is that the checkout takes place on a laptop and in this case subversion can not cope with the off-line synchronization. The problem is reproducable on an other laptop while on a desktop I have no problem checking out the same repository.

I hope this answer wil help you, it took me quite long to find out.
