Problem Details: Whenever I launch my osu!, It says that it will restart to update but it says "Unable to replace file osu!.exe. Please check this file isn't still open then try running the updater again."



Video or screenshot showing the problem:



osu! version: 20140812.4

Check if the game is confirmed to be closed via Task Manager. If that doesn't work, try deleting the file.

So do you want me to re-download osu! completely?

Noooooo. Just delete osu!.exe and running the updater.

Did you just deleted only the osu Application file. You wasn't suppose to delete any other files.

If I were to guess probably your beatmaps are still there and have to be processed over again and then skin can be selected via options?

Ok.

I launch osu! from the osu! updater, I have no skins, no beatmaps whatsoever.

But when I get osu! out from the recycling bin, and launch it. I have all beatmaps and skins but I still have the update glitch.

Can you take a screenshot of your osu! folder?

Thank you for doing so.

Try to delete osu!.db.something and osu!.db right above it (file type: Database) and both the score.db.something.bak along with score.db right above both (file type: Database), then delete both osu!.exe and osu!.new_exe and try to run osume.exe now.

If I uninstall osu! and re-install it, will it delete all my skins and beatmaps?

If you move the song and skin folder to the desktop and then uninstall, then no.

Alright, I moved the two folders to my desktop, uninstalled osu! and reinstalled it. Replaced the songs + skins folder and it worked. Thanks
