It said to me that The previous version of the file could not be saved into the backup directory at ...

I reference this link https://community.notepad-plus-plus.org/topic/20248/the-previous-version-of-the-file-cannot-be-saved-notepad-error-popup

Change your preferences from the Settings tab in Notepad++. Click the Backup option from the list and click none for Backup on Save. I also unchecked "Enable session snapshot and periodic backup"
