Azure Devops Repository File Copy/Delete Operation not working using Tasks

I have created Tasks in the Release Pipeline for doing some copying/deletion of files. The tasks are getting completed without any error but the files are not actually copied to the destination directory or deleted from the path specified. Even I tried using Powershell scripts, still it is getting completed without any error, but no file is copied or deleted. Looks like some error is there but it is being suppressed. Adding debug variable also did not provide much information. I am able to do any file operations manually in the Azure Devops repository, but file copy/delete is not working with automated task. Any idea about this kind of issues or is there any other way to troubleshoot the root cause ?

Sample Logs for Copy File task is given below

    Hi @Sreega Oravakandi ,

    Azure DevOps is currently not supported in the Q&A forums, the supported products are listed over here https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/products (more to be added later on).

    You can ask the experts in the dedicated Azure DevOps forum over here:
    https://developercommunity.visualstudio.com/spaces/21/index.html
