Bug Description

When deleting folders on a samba share with the same name but different use of lower and upper case it will delete both folders.

for example:
If there are two folders like below and i delete 'It's Always Sunny' it will delete both folders, when i only wanted to delete one folder.
It's Always Sunny
it's always sunny

Thank you for your bug report, could you also report it upstream on https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/nautilus/-/issues ? Samba isn't case sensitive usually so it's a weird of having different directories using the same naming working. Checking online it seems that windows only displays one folder in those cases, nautilus should probably be doing the same thing

Changed in nautilus (Ubuntu):
importance: Undecided → Low
summary: - deleteing files incorrectly
+ deleteing folders with the same name and different casing on samba
+ doesn't work as expected
