This recently started happening. Whenever I try to recursively delete any remote directory from dired (i.e. D over the dired entry), I get this after Emacs asks me for confirmation:

void-variable: Symbol’s value as variable is void: v

I have no idea what's going on. The only change I remember making is updating Tramp from the built-in version (I'm running Emacs 27.1 on Debian) to the most recent ELPA version.

    Does the same thing happen when you start Emacs using `emacs -Q` (no init file)? If not, bisect your init file to find the culprit. And please present a recipe to repro the problem. – Drew Oct 19 '21 at 16:11

    Do `M-x toggle-debug-on-error` and do the command again: paste the resulting backtrace into your question. Both @Drew's comment and this one describe standard debugging techniques for troubleshooting emacs problems. See https://emacs.stackexchange.com/questions/28429/how-do-i-troubleshoot-emacs-problems for these and other techniques. – NickD Oct 19 '21 at 17:24
  • Which Emacs / Tramp versions are you using? A recent Emacs from git master branch doesn't show this problem. – Michael Albinus Oct 23 '21 at 16:45
