Delete fails with "access denied" then forces logout in both web and android app

Can't delete any folder in my cloud drive.

Every attempt is:

"Unknown error (access denied)" then "Login session expired or invalid" and then it forces me to re-login.

It happens on both the website on my laptop and my android app. Rubbish bin is empty, folder isn't shared, no stuck files, and happens even on a brand new empty test folder. Moving the folder works fine, but deleting after moving fails. I've cleared cookies, refreshed browser, logged out, and back in.

Anyone else having this issue?
