Unable to delete any files from iCloud folder on PC

Hello!

I can't delete any files from my iCloud folder on PC. I have the latest version of iCloud for PC from the WIndows store. I couldn't find much information about this issue online, so I tried reinstalling, relogging, etc without any result.

Here is the error message I get each time:

Windows, Windows 10

Hi Egor.Kalachev,


Thanks for using Apple Support Communities! I see you're having an issue with deleting a file from iCloud Drive on your PC, and I'd like to do what I can to help.


Verify that iCloud Drive is still enabled in iCloud for Windows.


If you go to the iCloud Drive folder in File Explorer, do you still see the document shown there?


This article shows how that folder should look: Set up and use iCloud for Windows


With iCloud for Windows, changes appear on all devices using the same iCloud Apple ID. Can you find and delete the file on your other Apple devices?


Take care!

Hey Egor.Kalachev,


Thanks for the reply and additional information, we appreciate it!


I may have found why you are unable to delete that file using iCloud for Windows. Get help using iCloud for Windows

Look under the section titled "Where can I find photos or files on iCloud for Windows?"


For any additional questions, I'd suggest checking with Microsoft support.


Take care!
