It didnt work with relative url, i set the full url and it worked !
ReplyDeleteThanks for the script
This also isnt working for me with the relative url. How did you use the full URL?
DeleteThe CSOM method uses server relative URL! E.g. If you have a site at "https://crescent.sharepoint.com/sites/marketing" then the folder "Active" under "Shared Documents" document library's server relative URL is: /sites/marketing/Shared Documents/Active"
DeleteWhereas the PnP PowerShell uses site relative URL. So here in this case, the site relative URL of the folder is: /Shared Documents/Active
