Hi,
 I really like the ability to enable PDF thumbnail previews in Windows Explorer.

However, it causes other issues. I have difficulty renaming and deleting folders because Windows Explorer tells me the file thumbs.db is in use by Windows Explorer. Is there a work around or a way to fix this

Hi Billys

 

Hope you are doing well and sorry for the trouble. As described, You have difficulty renaming and deleting folders because Windows Explorer tells that the file thumbs.db is in use by Windows Explorer.

 

It seems to be a MS issue . I have found a similar discussion on Microsoft help page https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windows/en-US/b44e1129-17ec-479b-af89-7b407a53e085/cant-delete-folders-because-thumbsdb-is-in-use?forum=w7itprogeneral please check and see if that helps.
