I can create and rename folders, but not delete them

[Rich Dellinger]

I am using the Rad FileExplorer built into Dotnetnuke 6.  I have successfully used this in several sites.  However, in the site I'm working on now the FileExplorer allows me to create, rename and move folders, but I can't delete them.  I have tried it with partial rendering on and off.  I have written as sub to do a full permissions test.  The permissions test creates a folder, creates a file in the folder, deletes the file, then deletes the folder and it all passes without a problem.  Still, the Rad FileExplorer can't seem to delete folders.  Bizarre.  Any else have this problem?

Yes - I am having the same exact issue with DNN. Did you ever find a resolution?

Thanks,

Hello,

Could you please provide more detailed information regarding the specific scenario?

• Are there any errors thrown on the page when trying to delete item? If so, could you please provide the exact error message?
• Could you please provide the exact RadFileExplorer configuration?
• Do you have applied any customizations to the control, if so could you please remove them and see if the problem still occurs?
• Could you please open a formal support ticket and provide sample application reproducing the problem so we can examine and debug it locally?

Looking forward to hearing from you,

Hi Dobromir,

Thanks for your response, I was able to resolve this issue this morning. I took the following steps:

1. Went to Admin->File Manager and selected my folder that I had chosen in my code-behind for my View, Upload, and Delete paths
2. Under Folder Security Settings I gave permission to "Registered Users" to "Open Files in Folder", "Browse Files in Folder", "Write to Folder "
3. I went to Host Settings, cleared the cache, and restarted the application.

Now I am able to delete files from the Telerik File Explorer.

Thanks,
Joe
