Do you have normal deletes setup to move to trash or mark as
deleted?  It sounds like you have it setup to move to trash
and deleting the folder is trying to do that.  If you changed
it to just mark as deleted, I believe things might work out
differently.

 This would be a very good time to hang out with the Open Source 
 people, before they get formally reclassified as a national security 
 threat. -- Bruce Sterling
