Compile error: unable to rename file

[jitteryhuman]

Hello, wondering if you can help me with a compiler error.

I managed to open the game file in VS 2022 without a problem, but when I save the “Hi there” in the code, and try to compile it, the compile fails. The log says it cannot rename a certain file:

[2022.01.02-02.43.22:142][323]CompilerResultsLog: Building 4 actions with 8 processes...
[2022.01.02-02.43.22:142][323]CompilerResultsLog:   [1/4] BullCowCartridge.cpp
[2022.01.02-02.43.22:142][323]CompilerResultsLog:   ERROR: Unable to rename C:\Users\james\Desktop\CPP\BullCow\BullCowGame-starter-kit\Intermediate\Build\Win64\UE4Editor\Development\BullCowGame\BullCowCartridge.cpp.txt.tmp to C:\Users\james\Desktop\CPP\BullCow\BullCowGame-starter-kit\Intermediate\Build\Win64\UE4Editor\Development\BullCowGame\BullCowCartridge.cpp.txt

What would be the solution here?

Thank you!

*Edit Solved!

The issue was that it couldn’t be written because for some reason there was already a file with that extension present. If you manually delete the file (with the .txt ending), the compiled should be able to write the .txt.tmp file to .txt
