Re: Audacity won't overwrite files, even when told to [SOLVED]

I've had the same issue. We have several Windows 10 machines and Mac's that share the files. The issue happens with all of the devices. But up until a few weeks ago it was putting "-oldX.wav" now it adds a digit. The "-oldX.wav" was easy to see and we knew it was not the newest version. Adding a digit is VERY frustrating as our file names are like "A290100.wav". I looked at the properties for the files and see I have "read/write" permission but "staff" and "everyone" just has "read" permissions. I have thousands of files in hundreds of folders, it would be a nightmare to change the permissions for all of them. Is there a way to get the "-oldX." put back?
