Delete folder fails

Hello,

We have found a problem where we are unable to delete a folder. We are trying to delete the folder (which is empty) by right-clicking on it in the GUI client and selecting 'Delete...'. We get a 'Deletion Failed.' error message, and the operation appears in the Pending Change Set tab at the bottom of the GUI.

Any pointers as to what we're doing wrong?

I've attached a log file gathered while carrying out this sequence.

Thanks

Alan

Could you look in your Vault Server Log for any errors that occurred during that same time period?

Looks like there is - please see attached - something to do with the apostrophe in the folder name perhaps?

FYI, by renaming the offending folder from "Project Team's Objects" to "Project Team Objects", we were then able to delete the folder.

Thanks for the update. I tried several tests and was unable to reproduce the issue.
