Robert M 0 Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 The screen shots below shoe my version of ESET and the problem I am getting. ESET keeps showing this same problem file but will not delete it. What's wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Marcos 5,074 Posted August 17, 2021 Administrators Share Posted August 17, 2021 There's probably a permission problem. I assume that you are unable to delete it manually too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert M 0 Posted August 17, 2021 Author Share Posted August 17, 2021 It is in Time Machine on a Mac - no I cannot delete it manually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Marcos 5,074 Posted August 18, 2021 Administrators Share Posted August 18, 2021 I overlooked that the file was detected in a mailbox (mbox) container. It is not possible to clean files in archives or containers. You can delete INBOX.mbox manually but probably you'll need to do it with root permissions.

Robert M 0 Posted August 18, 2021 Author Share Posted August 18, 2021 I don't know how to delete with "root permissions". Is this something I have to worry about? Do I need to change any settings in ESET? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
