Error resetting world

[ghost]

Hello!

Whenever i try to reset a map it fails to delete the world, leaving it unloaded until i restart the server.
Is this a known issue?

It works after a server restart to reset the map, but after a while it fails to do so.

Yes, this is a known issue. Unfortunately I see no way to fix it. What's happening is that when Multiverse-Adventure tells Java to delete the world folder, Java is unable to do so due to SOMETHING having an open file lock on some of the files. The problem is that it's not possible to tell what is locking the files or to tell Java to remove those locks.

What about

No. This is for dealing with the FileChannel class. What @dumptruckman is saying, is that the file is being held open (Most likely MineBackup). Java doesn't have permission to override that lock, unless you are running as the root user, but never do that.

My theory: MineBackup should watch for the world to be unloaded (via WorldListener) and it should close the file. No more changes are being made, no more backups needed. Then we could delete it. But that's just a theory.

Im also getting this error. I see its been an issue for a while now, just wondering if u found a solution. tho i guess not as im getting the error. Hate to ask but does know anyone of a similar plugin i can use or a way around this.

For me it's just having a problem deleting some spout files in the spout_meta folder.

anyway you could set it so it will only delete the files within the .template folder?
