Post to USB vs Hard Drive does not recognize Suppression

Having a weird thing happening. I typically post to a USB and take directly to the machine of choice. I went ahead and suppressed some operations and when I posted the old file appeared with all operations active. I rebooted and tried several times with the same issue. But when I switch destination to the hard drive it suppresses the files properly. I put an empty USB disk with the same results. Not sure why it is not rewriting the file direct to USB.

As an additional follow up. I saved to my hard drive as a solution and then saved to my USB stick. It gave me a pop up that said my file on the USB is newer than my Hard Drive file and do I want to cancel or overwrite. So there must be some kind of issue that the post is seeing that the file on the USB is newer so it won't over write the file.

This is most likely more of a file management issue with how your computer / OS  overwrites an existing file and not likely to do with anything related to Fusion 360 or the post process

 

I do a best practice of keeping minimal files on any transfer device, and ensuring new copies are the most recent

 

Otherwise you can think you've posted 'new' code when really its the code you posted XYZ times ago

I only use this computer for programming and have auto saved to a USB by choosing the destination option in the generation of a post. It has worked flawlessly for over a year. Now, even saving to a hard drive I have to go into the folder and delete the previous file or else 360 will not save the new version. Something has changed in the saving protocol which does not overwrite the existing file even though that is what I told it to do.
