Permission Denied using Powershell Remove-NcFile

I'm trying to delete a file that can't be done on the client side.

Remove-NcFile comes back with permission denied.

Versions

What is the failure reason when attempting to delete from the client?

What protocol are you using? Is it happening with one client? is it only one share?

The Remove-NCFile commandlet is from the ONTAP Powershell toolkit.

The file's parent folder happened to be locked, thereby preventing its removal.

"vserver lock show" was used to obtain the Lock UUID.

"vserver locks break - lockid" broke the lock.

The file was then removed/deleted.
