I am getting this error when I try to empty or delete an item in the recycle bin. I am using umbraco 4.9 (upgrade from 4.8).
Error: Sys.Net.WebServiceFailedException: Sys.Net.WebServiceFailedException: The server method 'EmptyTrashcan' failed with the following error: System.IO.IOException-- The directory is not empty.
I wonder whether it may be a permissions problem. The physical files aren't being deleted because of a permission problem so the folder cannot be. What permissions are required on the media folder / subfolders to allow deletion.
Error when trying to empty recycle bin
I am getting this error when I try to empty or delete an item in the recycle bin. I am using umbraco 4.9 (upgrade from 4.8).
I wonder whether it may be a permissions problem. The physical files aren't being deleted because of a permission problem so the folder cannot be. What permissions are required on the media folder / subfolders to allow deletion.
Forgot to mention I'm using umbraco 4.9 (upgraded from 4.8).
Update
It's not a permissions problem. I gave "Everyone" full control to the media folder and all it's children and it still didn't work.
I believe this is a bug that has been reported here http://issues.umbraco.org/issue/U4-771
I am also having same problem. Have to manually delete files then empty recycle bin. any update on this would be great.
is working on a reply...
