Any suggestions

While testing 8.207 and attempting to delete an older folder via right click and selecting Delete, I get the following popup. I cannot find any information on Manage Private Mode.

Text states:

(IBFS1250) FUNCTION DELETE CAN NOT BE COMPLETED BECAUSE OTHERS OWN ITEMS, TRY MANAGE PRIVATE MODE

Do a right click on that Folder check the security effective permissions on that folder , on the right side of the screen you will see what access you have on that folder

Hope that helps

You can not delete an item that is owned by someone else. If you have to right to manage content owned by others (which you could have on all users in a group or on the EVERYONE group), then the system will allow you to go into manage mode (it was in the menu bar of the old home screen - they may have missed it on newer home screen implementations). Staying in manage private mode all the time affects performance. In regular mode, when the system finds something private owned by someone else, it simply checks if the object is shared. But in manage mode, it has to go find all the groups the owner is in and then check if any of the owners groups are in the list of groups you can manage. Even with the caching implemented - it takes more time.

Try switching from Normal to Admin view, if you are logged in as an administrator. Keep in mind, if there is content in that folder owned by other users, you may not want to delete it
