I have uninstalled oneDrive from my PC.

I want to delete a directory from the oneDrive browser interface.

When I select the folder in the browser, and click delete, and confirm I want to send it to the recycle bin I get the message:

"The resource has changed since the caller last read it' usually an eTag mismatch".

What do I need to do to resolve this so I can delete the folder from the browser?

    Please check for any power automate flow associated with the folder. The error message is mostly related to it and most likely for the configuration is set to Restrict Delete.

    Alternately, you can select the vertical ellipsis, then More, then Publish.
