Unable to delete a folder I own. "You don’t have permission to delete files in this folder".

Hey leadcro, thanks for posting and welcome to our Community.

This error message usually appears when you're trying to delete a folder that you didn't create or are not the owner of.

Would you mind clarifying if you see the two people symbol on the folder you're trying to delete? Also, did you use these steps in order to unshare it with the rest of the members?

Let me know what you see.

Hi, I do see the two people symbol, but when I look in permissions I'm listed as the owner. 

Is there a way to see who created the folder?

Hey leadcro, thanks for the screenshot!

It looks as if you're the folder's owner. Have you tried the steps I provided above, about unsharing the folder before deleting it?

Would you mind giving it a go?

Hi, 

I followed the steps, however, there's no one else to manage permissions for. Everyone else has been removed, but it still won't let me delete the folder.  

Do you still get the same error on your end leadcro?
Also, have you tried a different browser, by any chance?

I still get the "you don't have permission to delete files in this folder" message. Note that the folder is empty. I have now tried in Chrome and Safari without success.  

Hey leadcro, can you follow the steps here to unshare the folder and see if you're then able to delete it?

I followed those steps, but I'm still unable to delete the folder. 

That's pretty strange indeed. Does the folder still have the two people icon or just a plain blue folder icon now?
