This took me a while to figure out, but here is what I'm dealing with.

When I try to delete a file I receive this error:

Error Deleting File: Portal Root\\test.txt
   Access to the path \'Portal Root\\test.txt\' is denied.

Now before you ask me if I have ASPNET, and Network Service with full permissions, the answer is yes, I do. As a matter of fact, I was so paranoid about it, I gave them full permissions to the entire drive as a test. I checked the individual files I was trying to delete and sure enough, they had "proper" permissions. I then went through and checked every folder on it's way up to the file I was trying to delete, and every folder had the same permissions.

Here is what I did as a test. I gave the IUSR write permissions to the individual file I was trying to remove, I then tried to delete, and voila, file gone. Just to make sure I wasn't crazy, I put the test.txt file back and tried to delete it. Same error. I gave it IUSR write permissions, and once again, file gone.

What am I missing here. ASP.Net is in fact running as Network Service, I checked and double checked. Thank you in advance for your help.

are you deleting in Admin :: File Manager or in another tool?

Sebastian,
                  I am deleting using the file manager as the Host user.

the problem seems to be the double backslash.

Are you using file manager in Admin or Host menu?

Do you have special locations for your portal folder?

Does this happen even after a recursive file sync?

Sebastian,
          My apologies for the delays in responding to your replies. This does happen after Recursive Sync. I am using the default portal folders. I was logged in as a host user, using the Files link from the top-right of the Control Panel.
