Permission denied when deleting directory in Ansible - ansible

Question

I have a task which simply creates directory in the home directory of user 'foo' as follows:
---
- name: Create bar directory
become: yes
become_user: foo
file:
path: "/home/foo/bar"
state: directory
owner: foo
group: foo
mode: 755
This works fine, but when I try to run a task to delete the directory created by above task, I got the following error:
TASK: [a task | Create bar directory]
failed: [192.168.50.4] => {"failed": true}
msg: rmtree failed: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/home/foo/bar'
FATAL: all hosts have already failed -- aborting
Below is the delete task.
---
- name: Create bar directory
become: yes
become_user: foo
file:
path: "/home/foo/bar"
state: absent
I confirmed the created directory is owned by 'foo' so the directory should be able to be deleted by 'foo'. Why am I getting permission denied error?

Answer 1

Although the directory is owned by the correct user, I realized that the permission for the directory was not correctly set, i.e, drwxr-xr-x.
The problem was mode: 755, which does not seem to be a problem at all. But I needed to prepend 0 before 755 in order for it to work as expected.
