Unable to delete a folder I own. "You don’t have permission to delete files in this folder".
Hi! I'm having difficulty deleting a folder I own. I keep getting an error message "You don’t have permission to delete files in this folder". There are no files in the folder and I have triple checked that I am the owner of the folder. I have also unshared it with any other members.

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.
