How to remove an encrypted folder?
It's not working in the webinterface. If I remove within the desktop client it's not possible
The only possible way, which I found is to disable the app, after that you will be able to delete the folder.

What you mean by disabling the app?
The Nextcloud eco-systems end-to-end encryption handling is incredibly frustrating and disappointing. When updating a file the whole folder got corrupted (again) and now I cannot delete the directory to set it up again.

Do I risk corruption in other encrypted directories when I deactivate the e2e-app?

What happens? Which client? What version? It's likely a client issue. Also, any basic details like server/app versions? :)

Corrupted in what way precisely? Also, what client are you using?
The bulk of end-to-end encryption is handled by the clients (which is not to say that this server-side app here can't be a factor in whatever is going on, but more details are needed - none of the comments on this issue are extensive enough to try to fully reproduce and debug).
the problem with e2e is that there is no common direction between the application installed on the server and the desktop/android (a crap) and IOS versions
not a common address not a common test.
in iOS you can delete or rename a folder as long as you have encrypted it with the iOS application, otherwise with Android you will be blocked from deleting, and you will not be able to delete any files. Furthermore, in Android there is no rename entry.
When you choose to focus on a strong system such as e2e encryption, you should carry out tests and tests to avoid such inconsistencies. even resetting e2e from server and recreating keys doesn't help. It's disappointing not to be able to take advantage of this feature that could have been the flagship of NextCloud for privacy
errors like you are not allowed to create the block are frustrating
