Oracle Troubleshooting: Datapump - ORA-39002: invalid operation

Some issue when working  on a datapump on an old machine. It used to work and out of a sudden, I was getting errors.

It turned out, entire directory of "C:\Users\orcldb\Downloads\bobdb\" was removed and causing the error. I wish the error would me more intuitive.


Created "bobdb" under download and fixed the issue.
