Thread:Project:Support desk/Can't delete image uploads. "Error deleting file: Could not create directory 'mwstore://local-backend/local-deleted/a/x/b'."/reply (3)

That's good to know.

Of course. That was a test to see if I could access them correctly. A test to see if permissions is the problem.

With these permissions, set exactly how you have them written there, I cannot upload or delete files. That's the first time this result has happened. I get both errors: Could not create directory "mwstore://local-backend/local-public/2/26". Error deleting file: Could not create directory "mwstore://local-backend/local-deleted/8/d/b".

I figured it might be because I had done this before that: sudo chown root:www-data ./images

So I tried changing it to this: sudo chown www-data:www-data ./images

And that let me upload files. Found the culprit there.

Check my response to Florianschmidtwelzow above if you want to know about the deleting files error.
