Cause
The issue has been reported to the development team as POA-87588: "Call of method "File System Provider Ex::deleteFileEx" failed: "The system cannot find the path specified" while trying to delete a whole subscription with PPB website on IIS 7.5".
There is a symlink in the Presence Builder site application location. While trying to remove the directory, system moves it to some new location, but symlink still points to the old non-existng location, thus causing the task to fail.
Resolution
Please contact your Technical Account Manager or PTA team (pta@odin.com) to trace the status of POA-87588.
