Issue: The file is currently
checkout out or locked for editing by another user while delete a folder.
Background:
One of my client was trying to delete a folder which was empty and when
deleting throws above error message.
Troubleshooting:
Checked that the folder has multiple nesting i.e. there
level of nesting.
Tried to delete the folder from each nested folder
level, no success.
Tried to upload a file on the last folder and delete the
file it worked but unable to delete the folder.
Resolution: It
seems to be an issue with the corrupt file check out. You always have the
option to check-in back the files from the library which don’t have valid check
in version. To do so:
Go to Library tools.
Library settings
Under Permissions and configuration tab – Choose to
select the Manage files which have no
checked in version.
Open the page; look for the folder/file name which you
are trying to delete.
Check the box against and click take the ownership of the Selection.
If you have any
queries/questions regarding the above mentioned information then please let me
know.
I would be more than happy to
help you as well as resolves your issues, thank you.
