SummarySometimes the FTS user does not have sufficient privileges to modify or clean up certain folders. This is particularly relevant if you would like to apply the steps described in this article and automatically clean up files and folders outside of the directory defined in FileTypeSupportServerShared.  Follow these steps to check for possible permission issues and correct them:
Check the Windows user used to run the FTS service by logging on to the application server 
Open Services and right-click on SDL File Type Support Server -> Properties 
Click on the Log On tab and check if the Local System Account is running the service, or if you have a defined User instead 
Repeat the above steps for the WorldServer service (Idiom) -> note if they are configured the same 
Go to the folder that should be cleaned up or changed and right-click on it -> Properties 
Go to the Security tab and click on Advanced 
Check the folder owner and adapt the permission to include the FTS user
