Error-The tag present in the reparse point buffer is invalid when try to overwrite the file in XD 43

[Jasminn5E99]

I'm working on a local file, and at some point, when I try to save, I get a message along the lines of "the file is not there anymore" or... I don't know, I didn't screencap it.

1. I proceed to verify that my file (Job_Description_v1.xd) is in fact still where I put it in my local machine. (It is, the screenshot shows it.)
2. I try to overwrite the local file with "Save as" using the same name  (Job_Description_v1.xd), and a dialogue pops up with "The tag present in the reparse point buffer is invalid." and XD won't allow me to overwrite my file that way.
3. I save as a different name (Job_Description_v1.1.xd) and this now works. The thing about this "workaround" is, I now I have to create and update all the links to the prototypes/specs again!

If you prefer to work with local files DO NOT UPDATE TO 43.0.12, avoid it like the plague.

Thanks Harshika, this method seems to have worked. I am now able to open and save the original file.

Sadly, I've already re-created a workaround file this time. I have bookmarked this fix for the next time.

Would you please describe what you did to fix this issue for others?  Was it related to or do you use OneDrive? Was it related to long file path names or special characters in the name by any chance?

I had an issue like this today with one of my users - they downloaded a PDF and then were unable to delete or rename the file due to the listed error. I did some testing and was able to fix it by performing the below steps:

1. Right click on the file
2. Select Properties
3. Select Details tab
4. Click the link for “Remove properties and personal information” at the bottom
5. Select “Remove the following properties from this file:”
6. Click Select All
7. Press OK
8. Attempt to delete or rename the file
