Subject: Unable to delete “Users” folder — “blocked by another operation”

Hello,

I cannot delete a folder named “Users” from my account. I have tried both the mobile app and the Box website, but the operation fails.

The following error messages appear:

  • Mobile app: “1 item failed to delete”.
  • Transfers screen: “Conflicts with existing item”.
  • Website: “blocked by another operation”.

The folder shows a size of 0 B. I have attached screenshots of the errors.

 

Could you please tell me which operation could be blocking this folder and resolve the issue so I can delete it? I just reopened the account. Folder was dated 2018

Thank you for your help.

Hi ​@terramoco, 

Welcome to Box Community, and we’re going to help delete your folder! 

Upon checking the folder,  the “Users” folder has been deleted, are you still seeing this in All Files page? It’s been over 24 hours when the folder was deleted. Let us know if you’re still trying to delete it, or the folder still appears in the Box Web-App’s landing page. 

 

We look forward to your reply and thanks for posting!
