Unable to delete folder / model

[ptr727]

Hi

I imported a couple models from GrabCad, McMaster, and Parts4Cad, jsut to play around with.

Now I'm trying to clean up my project and delete them, but they fail to delete.

Fusion tells me I can't delete them because they are in use, they are not.

A360 reports they are not in use, but hangs when it tries to delete them, or reports "action cannot be performed" in the top red bar.

How do I delete these files?

I think I found out why.

I had Fusion open at the office, looking at this project in the data panel.

I closed Fusion, and then A360 allowed me to delete the files.

We need some usability improvmeents in messaging here.

The message of in use lead me to belive that the project was linked, but A360 said not in use, and A360 jsut failed with a non-descript error.

I suggest the messaging be specific between a project is referenced vs the file is open at a different location.

Or even better, regardless of Fusion being open, the files are not actually in use, let me delete them.
