Environment
Windows 7
User folders (My Documents, etc.) redirected to NSS vol via policy
User folders (My Documents, etc.) redirected to NSS vol via policy
Situation
Users receive one of the following errors when deleting a file/folder:
"You are not authorized to perform that operation. you must be authorized by the Administrator of this computer to perform any changes to this File/Folder".
"You need permission to perform this action. You require permission from the computer's administrator to make changes to this folder"
Despite the error the file/folder is actually deleted. Note that Shift-Delete (which bypasses the Recycle Bin) does not produce the error.

Despite the error the file/folder is actually deleted. Note that Shift-Delete (which bypasses the Recycle Bin) does not produce the error.
Resolution
This is because, the Recycle Bin behaviour in Windows 7 appears to have
changed in that it tries to locate the recycle bin in the same location
as the deleted file/folder - which in this case is an NSS volume. In the NSS world, undelete is a function
governed by Salvage settings so in this case, with redirected folders,
the Recycle Bin functionality should be turned off.
It can be turned off via policy setting:- User Config/Admin Templates/Windows Components/Windows Explorer there is an option called "Do not move deleted files to Recycle Bin"
or
It can be turned off via registry setting:-
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\BitBucket
Add/modify Data Type: DWORD // Value Name: NukeOnDelete = 1
