I am currently learning how to use the bash hyper terminal on windows. All commands seem to work correctly e.g mkdir, touch, cd; but when trying to use rm to remove a file I get the message: "rm: cannot remove 'text.txt': permission denied.

I have alredy tried running the terminal as admin, deactivate the UAC; none worked. I am currently using the lastest version of gitbash an using "Hyper" as my terminal. In the folowing code i first created a folder called mike, which was then used to have the document text.txt (this document was made with the "touch" command). Then when trying to delete it, i get permission denied. These are the commands I used. I have already tried running the terminal as admin and disable the UAC, none worked. help would be very much appreciated :)

    (1) Show the output of "ls -la" (2) Check whether same Issue occurs with New Directory mike/X & with new file mike/text2.txt (3) Is your OneDrive connected (& synced) to the Cloud Account ? (4) Check whether Issue occurs outside this Directory , eg in ~/My-Drive/CHECK/text.txt !

  • It is obviously OneDrive Issue ; It will not occur outside your OneDrive Directory. You should use Windows GUI to Configure OneDrive & Delete these Contents. You can try experimenting with Bash & rm outside OneDrive , eg in ~/My-Drive/CHECK/ where Bash & rm will work with no Issue !!

The Core Issue is that OneDrive has locked these Contents and is not allowing the Deletion.
