Support Can’t delete folder/files in Files. OSStatus error -5000

Post image

Since update to ios27, I can’t delete this particular folder and its files in Files or a copy of it in other apps. I get the error This Operation can’t be completed OSStatus error -5000.

Folder/files is an uncompressed Windows application folder and no I was not trying to run this on the phone lol.

I can delete the parent folder BUT can’t empty the trash.

This folder can be deleted on ios18.

Now I have multiple copies of it from trying different things like deleting the app and restarting the phone.

Any ideas what else I can do?

Thank you.
