Hello Austion, thanks for your question. Sorry to hear that you're having issues deleting a folder using File Manager in cPanel. Is the folder you are trying to delete within your /public_html directory? It sounds like you possibly might be trying to remove a directory that the server itself uses for your account. As you should be able to simply highlight any folder and then click on the red X Delete icon at the top to remove the directory. Does it make any difference if you right-click on the folder, and then hit X Delete? If you are still having issues, it could possibly be that the folder you're trying to delete isn't fully owned by your user. Please submit a verified ticket with the name of the folder you're having problems removing and we can see if there are any issues server-side which might be preventing you from removing it. - Jacob
