I can only reproduce this on Ubuntu if I use the old nautilus window
still pointing to the files; rather than the newly-opened window from
re-connecting the USB cable. This makes it not an issue in mtp; and it's
unclear whether this is actually fixable in nautilus/gvfs itself.
I'm marking this as Invalid for the mtp project; since it does appear to
work properly when you have a valid session on the device (and it's as
simple as using the actual window what pops up, above the others, to
browse back to the path and delete the folder).
I'm also creating a task against gvfs (for lack of a better idea of
where to assign this). I'm not sure if it's something that can be done
yet or if it actually goes against designed used cases; but on closing
the session with MTP, I think the window itself for that should
disappear, or at least be cleared of the MTP folder data. You should at
the very least no longer be able to see the folder contents.

Title:
After disconnecting and reconnecting device to MTP host it is not
possible to delete a folder using MTP
Status in “gvfs” package in Ubuntu:
New
Status in “mtp” package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Bug description:
ENVIRONMENT:
Device: ubuntu-rtm/14.09-proposed build 40
Desktop: Windows 8.1 / Ubuntu
SUMMARY:
After disconnecting and reconnecting device to MTP host it is not possible to
delete a folder using MTP
STEPS:
1) Connect Ubuntu device to host PC over USB
2) Copy some music content to the music folder on MTP device including some
folder structure
3) Eject the Ubuntu device's USB connection
4) Re-insert Ubuntu device USB
5) Browse to MTP Music folder on device
6) Try to delete some of the music folders that were just added
EXPECTED RESULT:
The content should be deleted successfully.
ACTUAL RESULT:
After a delay of about 30 seconds Ubuntu presents error:
"libmtp error: could not delete object".
It is then not possible to copy any content to or from the device.
Windows also fails to delete the content with error stating that
device has been disconnected.
Note that it is possible to delete files when the device is re-
connected. It is when deleting a parent folder that the problem
occurs.
