Error: Deletion Failed

[kintamanate]

Hi,

OS Windows 11, installed via the MSI installer.

I tried to delete and received the following error:
Deletion Failed. The application could not delete the file. Exeption : Attempted to perform an unauthorized operation.

What drive was the file on?
There was some issues with network shares but that has been fixed in recent releases.

@kintamanate
Can you give more details ?
Like whether Deletion fails for all files.. or certain drivers .... like that?

Images are located in "My Pictures" on C:.
I tried with different image file types in the folder. The app would not allow deletion, no matter which image. I then tried just in Explorer and it deleted without issues.

I will try images on another drive tomorrow.

Do you have "Controlled Folder Access" turned on in the Windows Security Settings by any chance?

This could well be the answer as the MSI version is unsigned.
I just tested with the MS Store version (which is signed) and that was able to delete from My Pictures whilst Controlled folder access was enabled.
