Apple message “This Operation Can’t Be Completed”

So on I was permanently deleting some junk files on m iPad and when I pressed of “delete all,” after the deletion message, a message popped up. It said “This Operation Can’t Be Completed. Couldn’t communicate with a helper application.” My iPad is up-to-date, so I don’t know what’s wrong. Can someone tell me what’s wrong? Thanks.

iPad, iOS 13

On the basis of the attached image, in this context, the “helper application” will be the Google Drive App on your iPad. The Google Drive App provides the API-link to Google Drive.


Sometimes, following an App or credentials update, it is necessary to “refresh” link by opening the corresponding App. Generally, once done, the Native Files App can communicate with the external filesystem.


Similar helper Apps exist for other Cloud-storage providers, such as Microsoft OneDrive, Abobe Document Cloud and others.
