Unable to delete folder on SMB-volume

#1

Hi, we are having trouble with deleting folders through Sublime Text v2.
Our workstation is a MAC Yosemite and the server that we use to store our files is a Windows 2012R2 based File Server.
When we try to delete a folder through ST on that share we get an error that we are unable to delete the folder.
The folder has no nested subfolders or files. Delete through Finder works.
Any ideas please?

Are you able to delete it outside Sublime Text?

Seems like a funny issue with working on a network - I’ve definitely had similar issues outside of Sublime so I just want to narrow it down for you.

Deleting it through Finder works great, through ST I get error “unable to delete folder”

I just did the following tests:

  • data on SMB share on Windows 2012R2 SMB share cannot be deleted through ST (full control on share and ntfs)
  • data on SMB share on Synology NAS cannot be deleted through ST (also full control as guest)
  • data on local harddrive of mac can be deleted through ST
    So, it is definitely a problem when accessing a remote share.
    Can Sublime have a look??
