Adobelm_cleanup.0001 error

James,

Delete the file using Windows Explorer, if you can. Photoshop can’t be running. I’m not quite sure what these are, other than perhaps virtual memory or crash protection for changes to a document. I’ve deleted them before in this way with no ill effects. For some reason, PS thinks there is a problem with the file. If you can’t delete it with Windows, then it may be that the file is really corrupted. You’ll have to track down Windows tools to get rid of it. In my experience CHKDSK is useless. Dell diagnostics are better. You might try posting on a Windows forum for the version you have and just ask about fixing/deleting corrupted files.

Good luck.
Griz.

adobelm_cleanup.0001 is part of the Adobe license management system used in CS2. As I recall, there are two copies of this file created in different locations when you start Photoshop; when you close Photoshop (and other related Adobe products), both should be deleted automatically.

and if they’re not deleted, as griz says, it’s safe to delete them (after closing ps).

Cannot delete the folder, saying contents are empty. I tried several tools to get rid of the file, no luck. Im resorting to rebuilding the computer

Try deleting from the command line with Windows Explorer stopped from the task manager.

end the adobe license service in task manager then delete.

Thanks for all the replies, I was able to delete the file. I am still getting the "adobelm_cleanup.001 corrupt, file or directory c:\ is corrupt or unreadable" when exiting photoshop

You may have to run a Root Kit checker through you PC to see that it has not picked up a virus or Trojan. McAfee have a beta one on there site.
