[Hardy] Recursive directory deletion doesnt work for external mounted drives

[Assid]

Binary package hint: nautilus

I mounted an external drive. However, I cant seem to delete the directory at its top most level (recursive). If I go into each subdir and delete the files inside then come up 1 level and clear that, and do it manually it works.

I later tried to do it with cli mode. This seems to work as well. However, it doesnt seem to work if i do it from nautilus. I get the error as:

There was an error deleting
<directory name>

Error Removing file: File exists

Thanks for your report, that works fine here, can you tell us a few easy steps in order to reproduce the bug? thanks.

Take any external drive that has been formatted with NTFS. Access it from nautilis. Copy a directory on it. And then delete that directory. It wont work.

I can confirm this on Ubuntu Hardy 8.04 64-bit Updated as of today.

Delete or Delete All gives the error:
"Error Removing File: File Exists"
Prompting you to Skip, Skip All or Cancel... with all three options just closing the delete dialog while leaving all files selected for deletion.

Okay this affects all ntfs mounts
