Word of warning - my google drive exceeded 5TB and soon will be frozen, so it may be part of the issue, but if anyone sees something else here please let me know. Deleting via a graphical file manager (nemo) works fine.
What is the problem you are having with rclone?
I run:
rclone delete gdrive:crypt/d34ahthj2ehulrt9m3rug40stk/pohik7ov228n6vrrt14k5md9bmhf651047aet6mhfmfqdib8oi4g/b6f8lb70loki22ph3p3e5ng1u8/c33srh6tnpm8qshgts5aiu94ho/67ju5qipbb5ljbtlmio5bfqqmc -vv
fails with:
