**I am getting the following error when I attempt to compile any program. I have reinstalled the software. Instead of using my desired project folder location, I accepted the default folder location. I am new to the Particle platform. Any help will be appreciated.** 😕

**Atom Version** : 1.8.0  
**System** : Microsoft Windows 10 Pro  
**Thrown From** : [particle-dev](https://github.com/spark/particle-dev) package, v0.1.20

Hello!

Let me ping someone who works with both build and dev. @stefanmoraru are you able to help with this?

there are multiple bug tickets filed for this issue.. essentially this is an incompatibility between atom and the particle-dev ide that loads in atom,.

see the following:

What’s strange is that is suggests I probably need a newer version of atom (but the release notes say this release of dev includes an update to the newest version of atom so…) Anyone have any ideas what the problem may be here?

> Okay, let’s try this: remove everything Particle-dev, ParticleJS, Particle-whatever related. I think a bunch of things have been confused. The Particle Dev is an editor based on the Atom editor by GitHub, and is a standalone program. ParticleJS is the Javascript SDK meant to be used when you’re trying to create a node.js or browser application and want an easy API wrapper. The Dev and SDK have nothing to do with each other, and operate completely independently. Try to get rid of any Particle De…

I have **finally** fixed my problem. I uninstalled Particle Dev. I then scoured my hard drive and found several Particle-related folders which had not been deleted by the uninstall process. I deleted all of these folders and reinstalled Particle Dev. It now works perfectly. 😀

HERE’S A FIX:

I was getting that error on my sketch with filename: “Yard Sprinkler V1.ino”. I replaced the spaces with underscores and it started compiling just fine! “Yard\_Sprinkler\_V1.ino”

I’ve had similar weird errors in the past that related to filenames…so I always try that first…
