# Error Message: Item vanished

## Problem:

A file or folder seen during scanning or preview has disappeared during execution of the script. This commonly appears when the user or an application has changed the contents of a folder while Synk is working on it.

This error is generally harmless, as the new file will be picked up on the next run. However, if some process replaces a file frequently, it could interfere with many or all of Synk's attempt to copy the file. It's best to quit this kind of application to give Synk a chance to grab a clean copy of the file.

## Try the following:

- Quit applications that will automatically change files before running Synk
- Do not change any of the folders Synk is working on while it is running
