Local File Deletion Error

2023-05-26 12:33

Since upgrade to V6.1, I cannot manually delete local files using WinSCP. Should there be a PowerShell command for doing this?

Thanks for your report.
Please provide us step-by-step instructions for reproducing the problem.
Do you get any error? Or what exactly happens?
I have no issues with deleting local files in WinSCP 6.

Select file from display of local folder

Question appears: "Are you sure you want to move file '@DELETE THIS.jpg' to recycle bin?"
Press OK button
Error appears: "Error deleting file 'C:\...\@DELETE THIS.jpg'" (I have replaced the actual path in this display with an ellipses for privacy purposes. The path is correct.)

Thanks. Though, it works for me.
I believe the error message should contain more details, please post complete message.
Are you sure the problem is related to WinSCP upgrade?
Can you try downgrading to 5.21.7? Would the problem go away?

I reverted to V5.21.8 and was able to delete a file. I then re-installed V6.1 and was still able to delete a file. Gremlins?

Sorry, I didn't read your response carefully.

I have sent you an email with a debug version of WinSCP to the address you have used to register on this forum.
