Description

Actions Performed

  1. Launch app
  2. Tap "+"
  3. Tap "Ordner erstellen" (create folder)
  4. Enter a name
  5. Tap "Speichern" (save)
  6. Restart the app
  7. Tap three-dots button for the created folder
  8. Choose "Ordner löschen" (delete folder) - "Ja" (yes)

Expected Result
Folder is deleted because it was created offline too and the app even says that folders can be managed offline.

Actual Result
Error message "Sie haben nicht die Berechtigung zum Löschen von Dateien., code: -99999" (You do not have permission to delete files., code: -99999) is shown - the folder cannot be deleted offline.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the numbered offline workflow on iOS, especially after restarting the app, and trace the folder deletion entry point. Done means a folder created offline can be deleted offline without the permission error; the issue does not name a file or test to run.
