Hi, per 907551515, I've deleted every file associated with the particular author, and emptied the trash, but Zotero desktop client still thinks that PDF exists. What do I do?

The file 'C:\Users\[…]\Zotero\storage\4IJSZBNV\[…].pdf' cannot be created.

Check that the file is not currently in use, that its permissions allow write access, and that it has a valid filename.

Restarting your computer or disabling security software may also help.

You're getting lots of file-related errors like this. Security software is most likely interfering.
