Google Classroom, delete teacher from course backend Error 500

I'm able to delete a teacher from a course but in this particular case I get this error (In Classroom API Reference ):


"error":
"code": 500,
"message": "Internal error encountered.",
"status": "INTERNAL"




From my NodeJS app:

code: 500,
message: 'Internal error encountered.',
errors:
[ message: 'Internal error encountered.',
domain: 'global',
reason: 'backendError' ],
status: 'INTERNAL'


The code (NodeJS app):

let classroom = google.classroom('v1');
let data =
auth : auth,
courseId : idCurso,
userId : emailDocente
;
classroom.courses.teachers.delete(data, (err, response) =>
//...code
);


I get this error from the UI.

More Info:

There are two teachers in the course: myemail@mydomain.com and
admin@mydomain.com admin@mydomain.com is the owner.

I need to remove myemail@mydomain.com The user is active and exists in GSuite Admin
SDK.

The error was caused by: the teacher was the owner of the google drive's folder. I had to delete from drive and the trash too. Developers should validate this and show a more clear message or delete the drive folder before deleting the teacher. Hope you guys update this. Thanks.

Update: I haven't been able to transfer ownership using drive API due to the fact that the user which I'm using to connect to the API doesn't have permission to change ownership I cannot have the real user to log in and change ownership because it's an automated process which runs every x minutes. I have to assign ownership of the drive folder to the user I connect to the API -not the real user- otherwise this will not work. I hope Google devs fix this.
