Ошибка нет доступа к файлу java

Why do I get this error when I run this program? This occurs after random iterations. Usually after the 8000th iteration.

public static void main(String[] args)
{
    FileWriter writer = null;
    try
    {
        for(int i = 0; i < 10000; i++)
        {
            File file = new File("C:\Users\varun.achar\Desktop\TODO.txt");

            if(file.exists())
            {
                System.out.println("File exists");
            }
            writer = new FileWriter(file, true);
            writer.write(i);
            System.out.println(i);
            writer.close();
            if(!file.delete())
            {
                System.out.println("unable to delete");
            }

            //Thread.sleep(10);
            //writer = null;
            //System.gc();
        }
    }
    catch(IOException e)
    {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
    finally
    {
        if(writer != null)
        {
            try
            {
                writer.close();
            }
            catch(IOException e)
            {
                e.printStackTrace();
            }
        }
    }
}

After the exception occurs, the file isn’t present. That means the it is deleting, but FIleWriter tries to acquire the lock before that, even though it isn’t a multi threaded program. Is it because the Windows isn’t deleting the file fast enough, and hence the FileWriter doesn’t get a lock? If so, then file.delete() method returns before windows actually deletes it?

How do i resolve it, since i’m getting a similar issue during load testing my application.

EDIT 1: Stacktrace:

java.io.FileNotFoundException: C:Usersvarun.acharDesktopTODO.txt (Access is denied)

EDIT 2 : Added file.exists() and file.delete conditions in the program. and the new stacktrace:

EDIT 4 : Program runs successfully on different machine with same OS. Now how do i ensure that the app with run successfully in the machine it is deployed in?

java.io.FileNotFoundException which is a common exception which occurs while we try to access a file. FileNotFoundExcetion is thrown by constructors RandomAccessFile, FileInputStream, and FileOutputStream. FileNotFoundException occurs at runtime so it is a checked exception, we can handle this exception by java code, and we have to take care of the code so that this exception doesn’t occur. 

Declaration : 

public class FileNotFoundException
  extends IOException
    implements ObjectInput, ObjectStreamConstants

Constructors : 

• FileNotFoundException() : It gives FileNotFoundException with null message.
• FileNotFoundException(String s) : It gives FileNotFoundException with detail message.

It doesn’t have any methods. Now let’s understand the hierarchy of this class i.e FileNotFoundException extends IOException which further extends the Exception class which extends the Throwable class and further the Object class. 

Hierarchy Diagram:

Why this Exception occurs? 

There are mainly 2 scenarios when FileNotFoundException occurs. Now let’s see them with examples provided:

1. If the given file is not available in the given location then this error will occur.
2. If the given file is inaccessible, for example, if it is read-only then you can read the file but not modify the file, if we try to modify it, an error will occur or if the file that you are trying to access for the read/write operation is opened by another program then this error will occur.

Scenario 1:

If the given file is not available in the given location then this error will occur.

Example: 

Output

prog.java:14: error: unreported exception FileNotFoundException; must be caught or declared to be thrown
    FileReader reader = new FileReader("file.txt");
                        ^
prog.java:25: error: unreported exception IOException; must be caught or declared to be thrown
    while ((data = br.readLine()) != null) 
                              ^
prog.java:31: error: unreported exception IOException; must be caught or declared to be thrown
    br.close();
            ^
3 errors

Scenario 2:

If the given file is inaccessible, for example, if it is read-only then you can read the file but not modify the file if we try to modify it, an error will occur or if the file that you are trying to access for the read/write operation is opened by another program then this error will occur.

Example:

Output

java.security.AccessControlException: access denied ("java.io.FilePermission" "file.txt" "write")
    at java.base/java.security.AccessControlContext.checkPermission(AccessControlContext.java:472)
    at java.base/java.security.AccessController.checkPermission(AccessController.java:897)
    at java.base/java.lang.SecurityManager.checkPermission(SecurityManager.java:322)
    at java.base/java.lang.SecurityManager.checkWrite(SecurityManager.java:752)
    at java.base/java.io.FileOutputStream.<init>(FileOutputStream.java:225)
    at java.base/java.io.FileOutputStream.<init>(FileOutputStream.java:187)
    at java.base/java.io.FileWriter.<init>(FileWriter.java:96)
    at Example2.main(File.java:19)

Handling Exception:

Firstly we have to use the try-catch block if we know whether the error will occur. Inside try block all the lines should be there if there are chances of errors. There are other remedies to handle the exception:

1. If the message of the exception tells that there is no such file or directory, then you re-verify whether you mentioned the wrong file name in the program or file exists in that directory or not.
2. If the message of the exception tells us that access is denied then we have to check the permissions of the file (read, write, both read and write) and also check whether that file is in use by another program.
3. If the message of the exception tells us that the specified file is a directory then you must either delete the existing directory(if the directory not in use) or change the name of the file.
