The issue is easy to fix considering renaming the file or folder before saving it can do the job for you. However, the error can turn into a headache when you are unable to find a pre-saved file with the same name.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yes, sometimes the error appears out of nowhere. This means even when there is no already saved file, you may come across the file or folder that already exists in OneDrive error out of nowhere. This can happen due to the following reasons:-\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sync conflicts due to changes on multiple devices.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Temporary glitches or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.systweak.com\/blogs\/ways-to-clear-dns-cache-on-windows-pc\/\">cache corruption<\/a>.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Improper configuration of OneDrive settings.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Server errors on OneDrive.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Other operational errors from Microsoft\u2019s end.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Either way, the error can cause trouble for a user.

Restart the OneDrive App<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the first things that you should do is restart the OneDrive application on your PC. Restarting the OneDrive app can help resolve temporary glitches which are often the core reason for this error popping up.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To restart the drive, simply &#8211;\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Step 1 &#8211; Right-click the OneDrive icon in the taskbar.<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-25588\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.systweak.com\/content\/wp\/bg_systweak_com\/uploads\/2024\/12\/OneDrive-icon-in-taskbar.webp\" alt=\"OneDrive icon in taskbar\" width=\"253\" height=\"181\" \/><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Step 2- Select Close OneDrive or Exit.<br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Step 3- Open the Start menu and search for &#8220;OneDrive.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-25589\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.systweak.com\/content\/wp\/bg_systweak_com\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Search-for-OneDrive-in-Start-Menu.webp\" alt=\"Search for OneDrive in Start Menu\" width=\"959\" height=\"637\" sizes=\"(max-width: 959px) 100vw, 959px\" \/><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Step 4- Click the app to relaunch it and check if the issue persists.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After the app restarts, check if the error appears again while copying a file. In case it does, try the next fix. Also, if it is possible, quickly restart your PC too.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Read Also: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.systweak.com\/blogs\/fix-computer-stuck-on-restarting\/\">Fix \u2013 Computer Stuck on Restarting<\/a><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u00a02. Check File Permissions<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Permission to access the files is also a major factor that often triggers the error. Incorrect file permissions can prevent synchronization and cause errors. To manage permissions and ensure that they are not the reason behind the problem, all you need to do is &#8211;\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Step 1 &#8211; Open File Explorer and navigate to the file or folder.<br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Step 2 &#8211; Right-click the item and select Properties.<br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Step 3 &#8211; Go to the Security tab.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-25590\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.systweak.com\/content\/wp\/bg_systweak_com\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Security-tab-under-Properties.webp\" alt=\"Security tab under Properties\" width=\"1112\" height=\"941\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1112px) 100vw, 1112px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Step 4 &#8211; Ensure your account has full access. If not, click edit and adjust the permissions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Make sure you have all the correct permissions to manage, access, and modify the files. While the error message file or folder already exists may not directly imply an issue with the permissions, sometimes inconsistencies can cause the error to pop up!<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">3. Clear OneDrive Cache<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Corrupted cache files can interfere with the syncing process. Clearing the cache often resolves these issues.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Step 1 &#8211; Right-click the OneDrive icon in the taskbar and select Pause syncing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-25592\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.systweak.com\/content\/wp\/bg_systweak_com\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Onedrive-Pause-syncing-Option.webp\" alt=\"One drive Pause syncing Option\" width=\"431\" height=\"792\" sizes=\"(max-width: 431px) 100vw, 431px\" \/><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Step 2 &#8211; Open File Explorer and navigate to C:\\Users\\[Yourusername]\\AppData\\Local\\OneDrive\\cache` (or the respective folder for your configuration).<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-25591\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.systweak.com\/content\/wp\/bg_systweak_com\/uploads\/2024\/12\/File-Explorer-Onedrive-Cache-Path.webp\" alt=\"File Explorer Onedrive Cache Path\" width=\"1234\" height=\"97\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1234px) 100vw, 1234px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Step 3 &#8211; Delete the cache files.<br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Step 4 &#8211; Relaunch the OneDrive app and allow it to rebuild the cache.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Start using the app again and the cache will be generated. If the issue is related to a corrupt cache, this method will surely get the job done. However, if the error persists, check out the next fix!<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">4. Manually Force a Sync<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sometimes the error may appear due to sync errors. For instance, you had deleted a previous version from the drive to move to a new one but since the sync is not completed properly, the deleted file still shows in the directory and does not allow your newer file to be copied. The easiest way to do so is to manually force a sync. However, to force the sync, you are required to restart the process. Here\u2019s how you do it &#8211;\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Step 1 &#8211; Right-click the OneDrive icon in the taskbar.<br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Step 2 &#8211; Select Pause syncing and then choose a duration (e.g., 2 hours).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-25593\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.systweak.com\/content\/wp\/bg_systweak_com\/uploads\/2024\/12\/One-Drive-Resume-syncing.webp\" alt=\"One Drive Resume syncing\" width=\"441\" height=\"422\" sizes=\"(max-width: 441px) 100vw, 441px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Step 3 &#8211; Resume syncing after a minute.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once the sync restarts, simply wait for some time and then try copying the file again. Only this time, the error should not appear on your PC!<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">5. Additional Preventive Measures<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Other than the above-mentioned methods, make sure that you take the following measures to avoid\/fix the error &#8211;\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Find &amp; Delete Duplicate File<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Update OneDrive\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.systweak.com\/blogs\/windows-11-24h2-force-update\/\">Update Windows<\/a>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Reset OneDrive\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Reinstall OneDrive\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">You can use Duplicate Files Fixer to find and delete duplicate files from different devices.
