Weathercloud application
Posted: Mon 17 Jan 2022 3:51 pm
Hello
Mistakenly it seems, I tried to connect Weathercloud with my existing Cumulus installation simply because I was fed up with Weather Underground advising me that I had no weather station, despite the fact that data continued to be accepted by WU and displayed. I thought Weathercloud would be a suitable relacement. I wish I had left well alone!
Despite carefully following setup instructions from both Cumulus Wiki and because I could not get Weathercloud to link, latterly, from several posts on Cumulus Support, I noticed that instructions slightly differed. Weathercloud instructions relating to linking problems suggested deleting the original Weathercloud folder from Cumulus and starting again. Herein lies the problem: despite whatever I do my PC refuses to delete the Weathercloud folder on the basis that ' a file is in use'. The only files within the folder are 1. Weathercloud application and 2. Weathercloudlogger. I can delete the logger file successfully but this relentlessly returns after a few minutes. Even in the short space of time when the logger file is deleted, when I attempt to delete the application file, I still get the message that 'a file is in use'.
I am now thoroughly irritated and all I want to do is delete Weathercloud permanently but whatever I do doesn't work.
Can anyone offer some simple advice on how to remove Weathercloud completely.
Many thanks.
