Bluescreen when trying to delete a certain folder

Question

Hi all,

I have created an (at least for me) reproducable bluescreen every time I try to delete a specific folder (documents/tmp/<domainname>) which contains copies of files created by a certbot docker image. Those files have been created with the following command:

docker run -it --rm --name certbot --env AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=<id> --env AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=<key> -v "/c/Users/<username>/letsencrypt:/etc/letsencrypt" -v "/c/Users/<username>/letsencrypt:/var/lib/letsencrypt" certbot/dns-route53 certonly -d <domainname> -m <email> --agree-tos --server https://acme-v02.api.letsencrypt.org/directory

I have several tools installed which allow this command to run like docker for windows and git bash. But all in all files appeared at C:\Users\<username>\letsencrypt which were listed by windows explorer but unfortunately I could not use them for upload at my service on <domainname>. But this is not the problem.

Trying to resolve this problem I copied the file with Windows explorer to documents\tmp\<domainname>. And Still got the problem of not being able to open them.

I wanted to postpone my problem of certificate creation with certbot to another day and delete all files created so far. This went well by deleting the letsencrypt folder. But trying to delete documents/tmp/<domainname> caused a bluescreen to appear. After rebooting windows I tried it again and the bluescreen appeared again. This is the problem.

As the folder is created with Windows explorer and the files are copied with windows explorer I expect microsoft to want to investigate into this issue.

I already posted this question here but according to the first reply this location would suit better

Answer 1

What is the BSOD error code? Did you search the internet for that code to see if others had the same problem? Did you analyze the memory.dmp file to see which module crashed? Did you review the eventlogs for events that were generated around the time of the BSOD?

If I had to guess.... there is probably a docker or letsencrypt service that is running and when you delete the folder it crashes and brings the whole system down with it. Stop those application services first.

Windows should not BSOD because a user's folder was deleted. There has to be more to it.
