Protect a folder from deletion

I have a sharepoint folder that I want to protect from being deleted. The folders within change so users need to be able to read write within the folder.


I have used ACLs at the custom level and removed ability to delete the parent folder. However, when I attempt to delete the parent folder to test, a dialogue window comes up to tell me I do not have permissions to delete, and when I ok that window, the contents of the parent folder gets deleted.


Try as I might I have been unable to find the write combo of permissions to prevent the contents being deleted with the parent protected from deletion.


Any suggestions would be most welcome!

You could look at creating a 'Commons" folder. It can be a bit tricky at first, but if you work with it I think you can get what you want. See John Detroye's excellent Tips and Tricks document which can be downloaded from this web address: https://servicedesk.utep.edu/workorder/FileDownload.jsp?module=Solution&ID=1511& delete=false


Search for 'Commons". This document is geared toward 10.5 server, but ACL's were introduced in 10.4 server, so it should be doable.
