[#1]

What helped?

My problem is solved. What caused problem was the fact that I was sharing my wifi connection on windows 8. Stopping sharing it solved my problem.

There is a very simple way to fix it without uninstalling it,

1. Go into Appdata.

2. From Appdata go into local ( NOT LocalLow)

3. Locate Spotify folder.

4. Delete it.

5. When you open Spotify, it will create a folder in its place and your problem will be solved.

No Restart or uninstallation required.

The file is in use, i can't delete it :(

On linux you need to remove this folder:

  $HOME/.cache/spotify

i have done this multiple times because it seems to last for like 2 days before happening i want a permanent fix for this not a temporary.

Strange @Dontfreez - do you have any anti-virus or other security software running on your computer which might be damaging or moving Spotify's files?
