Hi forum,

When I try to delete one folder I’m getting one access denied error message. Anyone know how to resolve this?

The image shows an error message indicating that access to delete a specific folder path in "UiPath" is denied, accompanied by blurred text and options for "Output," "Call Stack," "Breakpoints & Bookmarks," and "Variables." (Captioned by AI)

Hello, Please debug and take the path in your file explorer to validate that syntax is correct.
For me the \? at start is weird and might be the cause of issue.
It tells you that access is denied but it can also be that path doesn’t exists ( wrong syntax in your scenario )

@Akshaya89,

Are you trying to delete the Input folder from the package?
You cannot delete the folders from the package at run time but you can delete the files inside it.

Thanks @ashokkarale.

there is no such thing that you cannot delete folders from your package…you can definitely delete

as per error looks like the folder permissions are not there

The image shows the UiPath project environment with a folder deletion activity configured to delete a specific folder from the user's documents directory. (Captioned by AI)

check the properties of the folder

Also as @Matt67 looks like the path is wrong

cheers

You cannot delete project files when the bot is running.
Recommendation:
1-If you need to refer files inside the project, then you can use just (as an example) - “Data\Outputs\File Name.txt”
2-Use temporal local folder, place the files there and delete the folder/files at the end of the execution. This will allow do not trying to access the files at run time, or avoid working with files directly from Shared Drives as example.
