Delete Old Shares

Ok got it.

Seems to be a permissions issue if you can view them but not delete them.

You can connect through SSH to your device and manually delete the folders from the command line.

Note that this is advanced and can cause harm if not done properly.

I would recommend you to fix the permissions inside the command line instead of deleting any files/folders.

  • Command: chown -R USERNAME:share FOLDER

  • This command will give folder/files ownership to a user.
    Replace USERNAME with your username and FOLDER with the path to your folder.

  • Your shares are under /shares/

  • So if you have a folder named My Folder inside the Share My Share, the path will be /shares/My Share/My Folder

Once the permissions are fixed, you can delete the folders in your PC file browser.
