I can only reproduce this on Ubuntu if I use the old nautilus window still pointing to the files; rather than the newly-opened window from re-connecting the USB cable. This makes it not an issue in mtp; and it's unclear whether this is actually fixable in nautilus/gvfs itself.
I'm marking this as Invalid for the mtp project; since it does appear to work properly when you have a valid session on the device (and it's as simple as using the actual window what pops up, above the others, to browse back to the path and delete the folder). I'm also creating a task against gvfs (for lack of a better idea of where to assign this). I'm not sure if it's something that can be done yet or if it actually goes against designed used cases; but on closing the session with MTP, I think the window itself for that should disappear, or at least be cleared of the MTP folder data. You should at the very least no longer be able to see the folder contents. ** Changed in: mtp (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Invalid ** Also affects: gvfs (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: gvfs (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Medium -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gvfs in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1369632 Title: After disconnecting and reconnecting device to MTP host it is not possible to delete a folder using MTP To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gvfs/+bug/1369632/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
