Access to the path <path> is denied: Delete Permissions not working.
In my website, I want to delete a directory and all subdirectories.
I get the error on a file name: Access to the path <path> is denied
In my IIS7 App Pool I am using ApplicationPoolIdentity. I do not have <identity impersonate="true" /> in my <system.web>
Someone recommended enabling ASP.NET Impersonation and setting it to Authenticated User. I did that and restarted the website. Didn't help.
In IIS7, I right-click my uploads directory and set the permissions for "Users" role to include everything, including Delete. Is Users role even the correct role?
I have set it to replace child permissions, etc.
I just can't get it to allow me to delete the directory or the files within the directory.
I initially tried to delete the directory (and all in it). That errored. So I now loop through the files in the directory and the directories in the directory to remove the files first, then the empty directory, but now it won't even let me delete one little file.
It works locally on my development machine, but not remotely.
Any ideas?
thanks!

yes, I know how to setup the application pool identity.
My question is WHAT USER DO I SETUP when I click the security tab?
I am setting up the "USER" account.

As I said in a previous mail...
>>Anonymous authentication is IUSR in IIS7, but when I go to set permissions, IUSR is not one of the users in the list.
When I click on the link to add, iis_isrs group is not an option either.
From right clicking the folder and going to the Security tab, my Group or User Names options are:
CREATOR OWNER
SYSTEM
FTPUsers
Administrators
Users
TrustedInstaller
And I am setting the permission for Users.
This directory and I have other directories that I have set the permission for Users to write and that works fine.
It's the deleting of the folder and files that fails.
My User has Modify, Read & Execute, Write from the main screen.
If I drill into it, it shows that this folder and subfolders and files also has:
Delete subfolders and files
and Delete.

I did this, and went to special permissions and added delete and delete folders and I get exactly the same error again.
When I run the code to delete the file I the directory, I get the error:
Deleting Folder: C:\inetpub\ftproot\xxx\xxx
Access to the path xxx.js' is denied.
I can upload and read and write from this directory, but not delete.
I suspect it's not an iusr issue since, I was using USER before and I wouldn't have been able to write to it if my permissions were wrong. But neither user allows deletion.
thanks!

Is this in the application event log?
There is this, but it just doesn't seem to have anything to do with deleting a file:

The identity for this website is LocalSystem.
I tried adding:
IIS AppPool/LocalSystem and that wasn't an option.
So I did add:
IIS AppPool/DefaultAppPool and granted all permissions.
But it still fails.
Did I do that right?

there is no built-in account to add for "DefaultAppPool" to select it.

This s still a problem. Maybe someday someone somewhere will somehow have an answer. :)

As I said, I am setting the "User" role with the required permissions.
I don't know what the ApplicationPoolIdentity points to.
Anonymous authentication is IUSR in IIS7, but when I go to set permissions, IUSR is not one of the users in the list.
