Bug report: Can't delete folders under mount points

I have two hard disks - the My Documents folder is a 'mount point' for the second drive. In other words I have two disks but one C: drive.

When I browse anywhere under My Documents, I am unable to delete any folder. Files can be delete ok.

The error message is Cannot delete XXX: Access is denied.

I can delete the directories fine from Explorer.

I'm using Salamander 2.5 beta 10a. I think it has a problem with mount points.

I guess that you are using Recycle Bin for delete operation. Recycle Bin is system service, so if it doesn't work, it's out of our responsibility.

This behavior occurs because the Recycle Bin does not understand mounted volumes. See whole MS article here: http://support.microsoft.com/default.as ... -US;243514.

To delete without Recycle Bin, use Shift+Delete key or change Recycle Bin settings in menu Options > Configuration > Recycle Bin.

Yes you are right. Shift-Delete works.

Thanks for that.
