Can't delete files from network share symlink on windows

Steps to reproduce

Create a symlink with powershell to a network mounted drive on windows.

new-item -itemtype SymbolicLink -path C:\myvault\myfolder -value Z:\my\shared\folder

Did you follow the troubleshooting guide? [Y/N]

Yes, i did try also on multiple computers and recreated vaults from scratch to test it

Expected result

Obsidian will see the folder and the files inside it and it’s going to be able to create new files and correctly edit AND DELETE them

Actual result

Obsidian will see the folder and the files inside it and it’s going to be able to create new files and correctly edit them.
The bug is obsidian can’t delete files or folders but i need to manually navigate to it and delete it.

Additional information

Network share is served by a windows host via smb3.
User has full permissions on it R/W and change permissions.

I don’t think symlinks or symlinks to network drives are supported. Doesn’t seem like a bug report.

Have you had a look through the feature requests?

moved to help.

I recall users having success by mounting the network location to a local drive. Not sure How different it is from creating a symlink that way
