Hi Alex.

The root cause of this issue might be folder permissions. Can you please check if the Windows user used to run the automation has Read/Write permission to the 'C:\Users\EfectivaVPN\Documents' folder?

Hi Vinicius,

Thanls for your answer. This folder has read/write permissions. File deletions in this folder works correctly.
