Delete activity failed for deleting files via on-premises

[quyendang]

As the tittle suggested, delete activity failed when I tried to delete files in a Folder type data gateway connected to an on-premises data gateway. Copy activity using the same data gateway works just fine.

The error is: "Failed to execute delete activity with data source 'FileServer' and error 'Error occurred when trying to access the file in Folder 'E:\[FolderName]\[FileName].txt', File filter: ''.
The directory name is invalid.
'. For details, please reference log file here: ."

Feels like it is something very specific with delete activity in Fabric. Anyone has the same issue?

Hi @quyendang 

You can give the folder path without metioning the E. for example insted of using the E:\[FolderName]\[FileName].txt', File filter:

You may use [FolderName]\[FileName].txt and it may work.

If you havn't refered this, Please refer this thread azure - ADF Delete Activity not deleting Folders - Stack Overflow It may helps you.

Please let me if it works.

Thank you!
