No to delete

Error message

No {kind} to delete

What it means

Fires in delete() after listing the saved resources of the requested kind: if the directory listing is empty (or unreadable, yielding an empty vec), there is nothing to remove, so the operation aborts. It is an emptiness guard on the collection of names, not a filesystem error itself.

Solutions

1. Create the resource of this kind first before attempting deletion
2. Verify the correct kind was specified (role vs session vs rag)
3. If the directory should contain items, check its path and permissions
