Deleting stuff from NAS

[.Mark]

Time to do a bit of housekeeping on the NAS but having trouble trying to delete folders (they have stuff in them but didn't think that mattered?). So going in through Explorer I highlight the folder I want shot of, it pretends to delete then this pops up


Any ideas? It's my data from my backups some time ago so I should have access to it.

rebooted the NAS or computer ?

might be a file lock somewhere

Yes, lots of reboots, been trying to months, just figured on posting the question here now.

It certainly seems locked for some reason - I just can't figure it.

Go in via the web based file manager, logged in as the administrator. You will be able to get rid of them then. Just make sure you get rid of the right ones!

You sure you have file permissions set correctly for your login id to NAS. Have you tried going through the NAS own GUI for folder administration rather than windows explorer?
On mine I logon via its IP address and have a host of tools available, account administration, folder properties etc

Mine has no tools to speak of if I go in through the GUI, I'd expected something there to let me see the folders.

Did you have any luck Mark?

What is the make and model of your NAS?
