Hi,

When you are looping the folder then you can put an if condition to avoid any Thumbs.db file:

CurrentFile.Name.ToUpper.Contains(“THUMBS.DB”)

Thanks

still have the files or maybe i am doing it in a wrong way

also it contains some other files

[prateek.mehandiratta9 (Prateek Mehandiratta)]

I guess these are hidden files:

Check if File Name contains a tilde character:

CurrentFile.Name.ToUpper.Contains(“~”)

OR
Like this: and Loop on the array
directory.GetFiles(“folder_path”).Except(directory.GetFiles(“folder_path”,“~*”)).ToArray

@omar_ismail

If you need only .png files then use the filter in the for each file in folder activity and give filter as "*.png"

If you need to ignore .db

Then try with Not currentFile.Name.Contains(".db")

@omar_ismail plz check manually where this file is residing and whether it’s a hidden file.
Also is it allowed to use powershell or command lines to copy the files instead of using this loop in UiPath? If yes, you can call it in the UiPath flow.

Thanks
