Please add you quickstart file so we can see what you have written

vim logs/soundbasix_followedPool.csv
save
chmod -R 755 logs/

should be fix it

Sorry, I don't really understand, I'm not meant to paste that code into the script am I? Not sure what vim is...

My unfollow script:

import os
import time
from tempfile import gettempdir

from selenium.common.exceptions import NoSuchElementException
from instapy import InstaPy
import schedule
import time


session = InstaPy(username='---', password='---')

session.login()

session.unfollow_users(amount=1000, onlyInstapyFollowed = True, sleep_delay=600)

and the error returned:

ERROR [2018-05-17 12:16:55] [---] set_automated_followed_pool error [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'C:\Users\Matt\Documents\GitHub\InstaPy\logs\---_followedPool.csv'

@Spiz Did you try creating the .csv file yourself ?

create an empty text file here

C:\Users\Matt\Documents\GitHub\InstaPy\logs\soundbasix_followedPool.csv

@julzKB oh well that's interesting, no I didn't, but when I checked the followedPool.csv that's generated in my folder there, it's totally empty. At this point there's some 1800 names that I want to unfollow, so it seems like the easiest way might just be doing it manually this time, no?
