Every day we access and create all sorts of different files, but sometimes certain issues with files can appear. Users reported that they are getting Cannot create the file error message on Windows 10, and today we’re going to show you how to fix it.

How to fix ‘Cannot create the file’ errors

Fix – “Cannot create the file” right-click the folder

Solution 1 – Change your registry

According to users, this error occurs when you don’t have the necessary permissions over the Temporary Internet Files folder stored on a server. Due to this problem, you won’t be able to open or save an email attachment, but you should be able to fix this problem by making certain changes to your registry.

Modifying the registry can be potentially dangerous if you don’t do it properly, therefore we recommend that you use extra caution and create a backup of your registry before making any changes. To edit your registry, do the following:

Press Windows Key + R and enter regedit. Click OK or press Enter.

After your PC restarts, check if the problem is resolved. This solution should work for all modern versions of Outlook, although the path in Step 2 might change a bit depending on the version that you’re using.

An alternative way to fix this problem is to create a new registry key for OutlookSecureTempFolder. You can do that by following these steps:

In the right pane, right click the empty space and choose New > String Value. Enter OutlookSecureTempFolder as the name of the new string.

Solution 2 – Empty Outlook Secure Temp folder

This problem can affect almost any version of Outlook, and in order to fix this problem, you need to remove all files from Outlook Secure Temp folder. You can do that by following these steps:

If checking the registry and removing these files is too complicated for you, you can also use tools such as OutlookTempCleaner and OutlookTools to quickly and easily empty Outlook Secure Temp folder.

Fix – “Cannot create the file” when that file already exists

Expert Tip: Some PC issues are hard to tackle, especially when it comes to corrupted repositories or missing Windows files. If you are having troubles fixing an error, your system may be partially broken. We recommend installing Restoro, a tool that will scan your machine and identify what the fault is.

Solution 1 – Check your syntax

Users reported this error while trying to create a link using the mklink command. This command can be quite useful, but in order to use it, you need to be sure that your syntax is correct. If your syntax is wrong, you’ll most likely get Cannot create the file error message. If you’re using mklink command, be sure to use the following syntax: mklink [options] [Link] [Target].

Solution 2 – Move the files from link to the target folder

As we already explained in our previous solution, mklink syntax should look like this: mklink [options] [Link] [Target]. To fix this problem you need to move the files from the Link directory to the Target directory manually.

After that, delete the Link folder and try to run the command again. Bear in mind that deleting certain directories can lead to problems, therefore it might be better that you just rename them.

Solution 3 – Delete Tvsuinstaller directory

Users reported this error while trying to install system updates, and apparently you can fix this problem on Lenovo laptops by removing one directory. Simply go to C:\ProgramData\Lenovo and delete the Tvsuinstaller folder. After deleting it, try to perform system update again.

Cannot create the file error usually occurs when you try to view Outlook attachments, or if you’re making links on your PC, but as you can see, this problem can be easily solved by using one of our solutions.
