While adding a new disk to a server we ran into an issue where we were getting the following error message when trying to delete a folder from a mounted drive.
Cannot delete Folder: Access is denied. The source file may be in use
Well it turns out that this is a know issue and only happens when try to delete a folder that is on a mount point. Apparently the Recycle Bin not understand mounted volumes and attempts to store the deleted folder in the Recycle Bin of the parent drive which doesn’t work since the folder doesn’t exist on that drive. Since the Recycle Bin is not used when deleting folders over the network, this issue only appears when deleting folders locally.
To work around this you can bypass the Recycle Bin with a Shift+Delete or delete it via a network share.
