Cant Delete Workflows in OneDrive

[ilmonito]

I cant delete Workflows using Alfred Preferences, I have to manually move the folder to the trash via finder.

Im syncing using OneDrive. It was working fine until yesterday, until when OneDrive updated itself.

This is the error I get everytime.

@ilmonito Try right-clicking the workflow in the sidebar and choosing "Reveal in Finder"; You should then be able to delete it manually.

 

Is OneDrive set to store your files locally or cloud-only? In any case, I would encourage you to back up your Alfred preferences to avoid future issues.

I know but is there a Fix to work properly?

 

Onedrive is set to store locally.

I've had this issue too. I think it has something to do with the recent changes to OneDrive and the fact that your OneDrive folder is now a symlink.

 

I fixed it by setting my Alfred preferences folder to my OneDrive "cache" folder: /Users/kevin/Library/Group Containers/UBF8T346G9.OneDriveStandaloneSuite/OneDrive.noindex/OneDrive 

 

You'll need to replace "kevin" in the path above with the name of your user folder.
