I open https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.io.filesysteminfo.creationtime?view=netframework-4.7.2 and read: FileSystem.CreationTime property Gets or sets the creation time of the current file
or directory. And LastWiteTime property Gets or sets the time when the current file or directory was last written to.
Thus I can not understand WHY sometimes CreationTime appears to be GREATER then LastWriteTime as my example shows and is it possible to belive CreationDate property value. LastWriteTime property seems being always correct.
HAVE FOUND AN ANSWER in: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/10277741/how-can-fileinfo-lastwritetime-be-earlier-than-fileinfo-creationtime
