Hello everyone

A folder was I shared with other users. I canceled the sharing and I deleted all files in the folder, thats works but I can’t delete the Folder .
Error Message, File is locked

It is possible to delete the Folder via Terminal? If yes, where are the folders stored

Thank you

cd to nextcloud (root directory you install nextcloud) where the program “occ” is located

$ sudo -u www-data php occ list

will list all available commands, shouldn’t be difficult to find the one from this list to fix directory. It scan all directory (I guess), you are not needed to enter the “locked” folder.

Hey, I have the same issue, I can’t delete a shared folder even as the owner of this folder.
I listed the cmd in occ, and none seems to help.

Here are my configurations:
