Getting error :
While trying to delete a sharepoint folder(which has many subfolders/files), Getting the below error :

Message: Request was cancelled by event received. If attempting to delete a non-empty folder, it’s possible that it’s on hold

Can someone help me with this error?

I also tried to delete the folder locally (After syncing the sharepoint to machine). It is also giving me the error :

Access to the path ‘C:\Users******’ is denied.

Hey @MariaJosephina
Can u check the permissions given to you
It Looks like you are not permitted or don’t have access to that file/folder

Ensure that the account you are using to access SharePoint has sufficient permissions to delete the folder and its contents.

When I am trying to manually delete the file, its working fine. So it shouldnot be any permission issues. @Vikas_M
