Jean-Marc Borer commented on VFS-465:
-------------------------------------

The issue is in WebdavFileObject where the source directory should be ignored but the test is not formed properly. Therefore it is included and consequently, delete will not work.

> WebDAV seems to always include the parent folder when returning a list
> of children for a directory. In VFS, it is checked that a folder is
> empty before allowing to delete it. However with WebDAV, all empty
> dirs return one entry (themselfs) which prevents the deletion of the
> directory.
