To avoid this happening, before creating the keys, clear any
default ACL

"happening" -> "from happening"

No, original is correct.

To avoid this happening.
To keep this from happening.
To prevent this happening.
To prevent this from happening.

Would I think all be correct.
"to avoid from" is not right.

But I meant to say "to avoid this from happening", not "to avoid from", which
I agree is not right.

"to avoid this from happening" is wrong.
"to avoid this happening" is right.
Or my other examples, with more or less the same meaning.

I phrased it as "to avoid from" as an example of the verb in its basic form.  You were entirely clear what you meant - I was merely trying to give examples of what I think is wrong.

As a native English speaker I grew up without being taught formal grammar, so I can say something is wrong without being able to explain why in a formal way.....

I'd guess from his name that Adam is also a native English speaker.

Richard.
