With the Rad Editor for ASP.NET Ajax, the behavior when attempting to delete a root path is different than with the older Rad Editor version we are upgrading from.
In the old version, attempting to delete the root folder displays the message "A root folder may not be deleted".
In the latest version, a confirmation dialog is displayed, just like when deleting any other folder. When OK is clicked however, the folder is simply not deleted, but no error message is displayed.
I realize I can modify the permission on the root folder to disable the delete button, but this seems like it should be built in.
Thanks. Josh
The following a sample application that will reproduce the issue (note you should have a folder in your web root called images_root).

Hi Joshua,
Since RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX Q1 2009 RadEditor dialogs are using RadFileExplorer to provide the file browsing functionality. By design, RadFileExplorer does not allow deletion of the root folder but the confirmation dialog that is displayed is called before the server-side DeleteDirectory method.
It is possible to intercept the execution of the delete and show a custom JavaScript alert by assigning event handler to the OnClientDelete event as explained in this forum thread.
In order to implement this functionality for RadEditor you need to modify the built-in dialog FileBrowser.ascx - more information about how to modify RadEditor's built-in dialog is available in this live demo.
For your convenience I have attached a sample project.
Best wishes,

Thanks for the full explanation. I feel comfortable with the suggested modification with the exception of identifying if the folder being deleted is the root folder. However I am sure I can figure that out.
