Hi,
when running on notebook
mssparkutils.fs.rm(path,True)
I get AuthorizationFailure, "This request is not authorized to perform this operation.".
Path refers to onelake that is on the lakehouse the notebook also is.
thanks in advance for your help
I choose the first path with '/files/' at the end. and get error! by the way since there is just one onelake why do we have three paths ? the others does not have any files

I am the workspace admin, and i still get error message Operation failed: "Forbidden", 403, DELETE,. the path references to files and not tables as you tried
Thanks for using Microsoft Fabric Community.
The error "AuthorizationFailure, This request is not authorized to perform this operation." indicates that your Spark session doesn't have the necessary permissions to delete the file or directory using mssparkutils.fs.rm.
I tried to repro the scenario and successfully deleted the table without facing any difficulty. Could you please re-check you premissions and try again.
I hope this information helps. Please do let us know if you have any further queries.
Thank you.

I hope this informations helps.
