# messages.deletingFilesError Property ActiveX/Java Uploader JavaScript

Supported browsers: ![Firefox](https://www.aurigma.com/docs/us8/icons/firefox.png)![Google Chrome](https://www.aurigma.com/docs/us8/icons/chrome.png)![Safari](https://www.aurigma.com/docs/us8/icons/safari.png)
 
Gets or sets a message which states that the uploaded file cannot be deleted.

## Syntax
 
```
$au.uploader({
    messages: {
        //...other params...
        deletingFilesError: "The file '[name]' cannot be deleted",
        //...other params...
    }
})
```
 
### Property Value
 
Type: **String**
 
The message which states that the uploaded file cannot be deleted, e.g. it is used by another application. It can contain the following placeholder:
 
- *[name]*
    - replaced by the name of the file which cannot be deleted.

Default value is **"The file '[name]' cannot be deleted"**.

## Remarks
 
**Note** 
A difference between ActiveX/Java Uploader behavior in Internet Explorer and [other supported browsers](https://www.aurigma.com/docs/us8/system-requirements.htm.md) is the following. When ActiveX/Java Uploader deletes files in Internet Explorer, it moves them in the way specified in the Recycle Bin properties. By default, a standard delete confirmation dialog appears and files are moved to the Recycle Bin if a user clicks **Yes**. However, if ActiveX/Java Uploader deletes files in any of [other supported browsers](https://www.aurigma.com/docs/us8/system-requirements.htm.md), the internal delete confirmation dialog appears and files are removed permanently when a user clicks **Yes**.
 
This property is necessary for localization of ActiveX/Java Uploader.
