 * Hello everybody,
 * I have some problems with the file deleting under buddypress.
    It becomes impossible
   to delete a file which is in a folder. The ajax response is good, it send me 
   something like this :
 * {“success”:true,”data”:[7771]}
 * So, it mus be ok. But when I reload the page, the file is still in the folder.
   I can delete it as many times as I want, I get everytime success:true, but it
   never changes.
 * Does anyone already had an error like this ? I tried to debug the plugin but 
   I can’t find where it doesn’t work.
 * Thanks
 * Edit : I’m on BuddyPress 2.9.1 and BuddyDrive 2.1.1

 * Ok i found a clue :
 * For example : imagine you are in the group which name is “Hello Group” (id group:
   125).
 * You can delete your own file in a folder owned by another member.
    But you can’t
   delete your own file in your own folder.
 * Why ?!
