     1= Can't delete previous state file =

     3== Can't delete previous state file; Access is denied. ==
     4If you repeatedly see {{{Can't delete previous state file; Access is denied}}} in your message log, you're probably running a program that is accessing files and keeping them locked for long periods.
     5
     6=== Solution ===
     7Try using Microsoft's [http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sysinternals/FileAndDisk/Filemon.mspx FileMon] utility to discover what the offending program is, then configure it to not access files in the BOINC directory. Known problems: TSVNCache (part of TortoiseSVN).

     18=== Solution ===
     19Back up your BOINC directory and run chkdsk (Windows) or fsck (Unix) on the drive containing it.  If files are irretrievably lost, create a new BOINC directory and reattach all projects.
