      DavidVs  and others.

       

      I still have this behavior. I can only move or delete a folder after I have deleted all files and or subfolders in it. For subfolders the same behavior, so with multiple layers deep this can become really annoying.

       

      Now, I did find the following article that might explain this behavior:

      I have not yet been in touch with our IT department to dive into this.

      Hi DavidVs,

       

      Nothing is noted in the O365 Service health dashboard. I did a simple test on my end and it is working. What is the exact behaviour you are experiencing? Please provide a screenshot of the error/symptom.

       

      Thanks.
