Research direction

Start at custom_apps/groupfolders/lib/Trash/TrashBackend.php line 215 and trace the DELETE flow shown in the stack trace through files_trashbin and the cache move operation. Reproduce the group-folder and nested-folder scenario with advanced permissions enabled, then verify that deleting the nested folder completes without an Internal Server Error or failed-action message.
