Hmm, sounds like someone might have messed with one of the resx strings there.
Does

Looks like it should be from these three here, I'd venture to guess, and the resx strings used therein:

I confirm this issue is still there with PowerShell 7.0:
When this fails, the same

Same as #11721

Is there a workaround here? This has been acknowledged as a bug for over a year with seemingly no movement.
iSazonov commentedon Jun 3, 2020
I guess it is not complex fix. I guess we need detect surrogate reparse points. If I remember correctly we already did this for read operations. Also I saw such code in .Net Core for Delete().
[DevOps] Return a success even when Clear-HD has issues.

Ilya (@iSazonov) are you going to make another attempt to fix this?
iSazonov commentedon Jun 22, 2021
#15571 is waiting a code review.
sba923 commentedon Nov 23, 2021
Is this fixed in 7.2?
iSazonov commentedon Nov 23, 2021
I hope :-) Please install 7.2 and try to work with OneDrive.
sba923 commentedon Nov 23, 2021
I was at work when I got the notification so I thought I would just get the answer without testing 😝Of course 7.2 is on all my systems so I can test... And now I know I have to since there is no pre baked answer.
iSazonov commentedon Nov 24, 2021
You got :-) We push some commits to fix such issues and I hope now all works well. If you still see problems, feel free to report.
sba923 commentedon Nov 24, 2021
I think the answer is clear 😆
Good job!
