Samba bug: Can not delete non empty folder.

Description

Description:
You can not delete a non empty folder on a samba share.

This is a known bug and has been fixed in Samba 4.8.5.
My understanding of the issue is, this is due to an error in smbclient. Which explains why I didn't notice the error until I switched my last Windows system to Solus. (Windows can delete a non empty directory from a Solus samba share. But Solus - Solus can not).

Bug 13204 - rmdir on non-empty directory fails silently

Fixed in Samba 4.8.5
BUG 13204: s3/libsmb: Explicitly set delete_on_close token for rmdir.

This issue have been bugging me to, think i found out about it a couple of months ago, had a look at my NAS permission settings, as i thought it was caused by a software update on the NAS. Have not been able to fix it of course, now that i see it is a samba issue, thanks for filing a bug report.

I found that if i delete the files in the folder first, then i am able to delete the folder.
