Error when deleting a directory

[sivapvarma]

On https://www.juliabox.com I get a pop up with the following message when I try to delete a user created directory "Tutorial" which is a copy of the stock "tutorial" directory.

Delete Failed.
An error occurred when deleting "Tutorial"

The stock tutorial directory is a link, not a regular directory. Looks like the Jupyter filemanager is calling rmtree on it which is failing. Can you check if it fails similarly on any linked directory?
