Nextcloud version (eg, 29.0.5): 29.0.4 Using Docker AIO 9.5.1
Operating system and version (eg, Ubuntu 24.04): Photon OS
Apache or nginx version (eg, Apache 2.4.25): Not sure but I am using a nginx reverse proxy
PHP version (eg, 8.3): not sure

Nextcloud client version: 3.13.83
Nextcloud client OS: Windows 10

The issue you are facing:
I have added a read only external storage to the Nextcloud sever. It has been set as read only from the external storage. I believe this has caused the client to set a blanket read only permission on that folder to prevent users from modifying files in the read only directory. It is also preventing the client from managing the folder its self. When a folder is deleted on the server the client can’t remove it from the client machine causing an error.

Steps to replicate it:

  1. Add (local) external storage with the read only flag set.
  2. Add a folder to the read only directory through another means
  3. Sync to a windows machine
  4. Remove that folder
  5. Wait for sync
  6. Error “Could not remove the folder”
