The issue you are facing:

I’m facing an error when trying to delete folders that have data inside them, and are stored on an external storage.

When I copy or move files via the Web UI (only the WEB UI) into external storage (Local, attached DO VOLUME), it copies over the files, but they get corrupted mostly. (PNG, JPG, PDF etc). Then, I also cannot delete folders, unless I delete all files inside first. Once the folder doesn’t have anything inside. I can delete it. This only happens via the Web UI, as using the Mac App I can easily transfer data back and forth. This issue also doesn’t come up for folders created inside the external storage to begin with.

Is this the first time you’ve seen this error? (Y/N): N

Steps to replicate it:

  1. Attach External Storage
  2. Move or Copy folder from main storage to external storage
  3. Try to open PNG or PDF files
  4. Try to delete the folder with files inside
  5. Delete files in folder
  6. Delete folder

I was trying to replicate the issue, and finally managed to get some errors into the log. This is what was happening when I was trying to delete files:

Found possible related issue on Github:

From my understanding, this is a encyrption error. When moving/copying large amounts of files into the external storage, something in the encryption mechanism breaks.

The error presists…
