All: I was able to resolve the issue. I noticed that the permissions of the share and folder were not set correctly for the account that I am using to connect WSUS to SCCM. I am not sure why it was working fine for the last several weeks, but as of now it is able to delete the content folders.

Everything was working fine a few days ago, and nothing has been changed as far as permissions on the server. I have rebooted to the server and the problem reappears. I have done some googling, but nothing has helped thus far. Patches are being downloaded still, but it occurs right after the sms cleanup phase. The error is: Deleting file \\?\UNC\sitesccm\patches$\September<file://%3f/UNC/sitesccm/patches$/September> 2016 - Microsoft Critical Updates\7219a284-56c6-46b7-9306-1eb439c5dff0\ie11-windows6.1-kb3185319-x64.cab, FAILED, Win32 Error = 5 SMS_WSUS_SYNC_MANAGER 12/7/2016 7:26:14 AM 4812 (0x12CC) Failed to delete orphaned content folder \\sitesccm\patches$\September<file://sitesccm/patches$/September> 2016 - Microsoft Critical Updates\7219a284-56c6-46b7-9306-1eb439c5dff0, error 0x5 SMS_WSUS_SYNC_MANAGER 12/7/2016 7:26:14 AM 4812 (0x12CC) Deleting file \\?\UNC\sitesccm\patches$\September<file://%3f/UNC/sitesccm/patches$/September> 2016 - Microsoft Critical Updates\bedfbe1e-920f-4247-9333-9bd1b777bebb\windows6.1-kb3178034-x64.cab, FAILED, Win32 Error = 5 SMS_WSUS_SYNC_MANAGER 12/7/2016 7:26:14 AM 4812 (0x12CC) Failed to delete orphaned content folder \\sitesccm\patches$\September<file://sitesccm/patches$/September> 2016 - Microsoft Critical Updates\bedfbe1e-920f-4247-9333-9bd1b777bebb, error 0x5 SMS_WSUS_SYNC_MANAGER 12/7/2016 7:26:14 AM 4812 (0x12CC) Has anyone else seen this before?
