Can not delete a script

0 votes

For some reason I am unable to delete a script.

I am using 3.1.1 stable on Linux mint 19.2.

The steps I follow are...

-create a project.
-create a node and attach a script to that node.
-create the script using the subsequent script creation dialog.
-right click on node and clear script
-in godot editor file system panel, I right click on the script and hit 'delete'

It then shows a a dialog entitled "Load Error", and the body contains the string "Cannot Remove res://my_script.gd".

I just want to be sure it isn't user error first.

I might be a bug! I have the same problem and it happens also when moving files to other folders. For example if I make a script in the root folder (i.e. res://) run my game everything is all good but if I make a sub folder for scripts and then move my script in there I get source file cannot be found. If I delete the script I get the same error massage. Very frustrating.
