    Hi @Robert Ozog​ ,

     

    Just to keep the things simple,

     

    Have Replicated the Same scenario, IN Public & Private have Red & Blue Arrows as above Screenshot (Since have Checked Out the Bot from Public to Private Workspace),

     

    1. Navigate to Private Workspace and select the Bot >> 3 Dots >> Select Cancel Checkout for Task Bot Option.
    2. Now go back to Public Workspace and Delete the Bot.

     

    Note: In Private Workspace you can still see a Cloned version of the same bot, delete the bot from here as well if you dnt need this as a reference.

    HI @Robert Ozog​ ,

     

    I am able to delete my files and folders, so it must be a permission issue from your end.

    Or try logging in as the user who checked out the bot

     

    Kind Regards,

    Sorry,

    I'm not able to replicate that.

    When I check in bot from the public to the private folders both bots have additional "arrows" and I cannot delete none of them until I'll check in from private to public. But of course if I'll delete bot in public folder I'll loose the bot completely.

    I hope you get my point.

    Here is a pictorial walkthrough:

    In Private Folder, cancelling Check Out

    I hope this is what you were looking for?

    Sorry but you don't get my point.

    I did not say it it's impossible. But then I'll end up without a bot in the private and public folder.

    It is impossible to have the bot back in the private folder and have public folder clear.

     

    In other words I would like to go back to the situation before I moved anything, anywhere.

    @Robert Ozog​ The bot(child) you are trying to delete is being used by another bot(parent).

     

    If you still want to delete this child bot, delete/disable the reference in parent bot: in this case: PurchaseOrder_Main

     

    If you just wanna clean your specific public folder and all related bots are in same folder:

     

    Repeat till all bots deleted:

    1.select all bots

    2.delete

    3.some files may not deleted(will be deleted next iteration)

    Then I'll prefer to re-writhe the whole bot again - preferably with different software :P

    Ok, I'll try one more time.

    I export the main bot with other bots (reusable) from the private to the public folder.

    Can I reverse that? (going back to the situation when all bots are in the private folder and the public folder is empty?

    Hi @Robert Ozog​ ,

     

    Error shows that bot which you are trying to delete is having a dependency. Remove this Sub bot from the PurchaseOrder_Main bot and try to delete again you should see the success.
