WedDav folders on Ubuntu Server 18.04.4

Question

I have an 18.04.4 Ubuntu server running well on an i5 machine with 8 gb ram. Apache, MariaDB and all doing well and installed the old fashioned way on bare metal. I installed webdav and love what it can do. On the clients we have Mac Users Windows etc.  They are all working fine, read write delete. I can mount the remote shares with ssh just fine.  All permissions.
I have Kubuntu 18.04.4.  In Dolphin I can add the webdav folder easily.
webdavs://webdav.msgcnx.com/data/msgcnxFiles

I can read, edit and add anything.  BUT I can't delete.[EDIT: I can create and delete folders.  Just not files of any type]  Deleting is working on Mac and Windows.

I had no hits on this question so I will post my workaround.  Seems to be a Kubuntu/Dolphin specific problem(kde forum).  Nautilus (still in Kubuntu) can read/write/delete just fine. So this will work for now.  Most clients work in Windows or Mac so this is only necessary for a few.
Also had to add a cron job to the server to make NFS happy on all the local/LAN computers.
sudo chown walt:walt -R /files/

Webmin is running that every minute.
Yes Yes its a hack but works!
