[Closed] Can't delete Onedrive folders

[herve]

Hello,

I can never delete the contents of an Onedrive folder containing files and subfolders, I always get an error that forces me to use the Windows Explorer, is there a reason for this?
I have Multi Commander version 14.5 and Windows 11 Pro.

Thanks.

same as other post about one drive..
I can't find any issue with it.. I can delete without any issues.
What error do you get.. Any error message ? error code in log ?

It says "Folder is not empty! Can't remove 'XXX'

I have to find where are the logs.

Might be that something has that folder open or something.
Might be more info in the Filesystem log (Ctrl+L)

Here are some examples of messages in the log:

It's not limited to .git folders and my files and folders are not write protected.
If I go in each folder, I can remove files from Multi Commander without any problem.

I can't reproduce it. I have no issue delete things under onedrive.

Maybe some shell extension or something have some handle to some folders open, that cause it to fail to delete them.

But. Is there files left in the folders that is say are not empty? Or are they empty?
If you run Delete twice.. does it remove the folder it say was not empty ?

[herve]

never mind, I'll close the subject

[Mathias (Author)]

Ok. Then I assume that is was issue with another program have files open.
