[SOLVED] TWRP backups: Delete failed

[Primokorn]

Hi
Despite several attempts with different file managers and TWRP versions I can't delete my TWRP backups. The only solutions I have is through the recovery mode or a terminal command (rm -rf /sdcard/...).
No issue to delete folders from other directories though.

Is this the same with new backups?

Yep

Yep

odd. i use root explorer, open twrps file, select backups, long press on the backup i want to delete, then press delete(and its gets deleted). what file explorer do you use?

Permissions look right.

Maybe TWRP is doing something funky. For example, if you bacakup your entire /sdcard via adb in recovery then push it back, you won't be able to make changes on /sdcard to any directory. Maybe TWRP is doing something when it backs up. Maybe try a few different versions of it?

last night, i deleted my old backup and made a new one. yes, physically deleted using root explorer before i made a new backup.

@Primokorn try root explorer

I tried with root explorer, solid explorer and ES file. Nothing works with these apps.
Actually I already had this issue with old TWRP versions.
I manage my backups from the recovery mode now but that's really odd...
Maybe doing a new fastboot flash could fix it. Last time I had to use Flashify to upgrade because I didn't have a PC.
Then I'll try with adb if needed.

If all else fails, you could get what you want off the device and format the internal SD. Could be messed up.

Yep. Better yet, flash a userdata.img I reckon

Problem solved after flashing userdata.img. Thanks guys.

I had tbis problem too after flashing NetHunter. I fixed it by deleting the directory using the file manager in TWRP

It's too late for me to try but I keep this in mind. I took the opportunity to clean up my internal memory lol
BTW due to this issue ADB didn't work while being into recovery mode. Everything is fixed now.
