I copied some files from a USB drive plugged into the MyBook USB port to the Download Share folder on the MyBook World using the Copy Manager built into the MyBook and now I can’t get rid of them.
There doesn’t seem to be a function from within the MyBook admin menu for deleting files and when attempting to delete them through windows 7 it tells me I need permission from Unix user/root.
I also can’t seem to take ownership of the files. When I try to grant permissions it tells me “access denied”
On a Mac, the connection to the NAS is via AFP. I couldn’t delete files but was able to do so once I connected through a Samba protocol.
In finder, click Go, Connect to Server.
Enter smb://MyBookLive/Public
or MyBookWorld, etc.
Try to delete the files again.
NB. You’ll see a file named _VUC6~7 or similar appear in your directories. Think this is just a Unix file which can’t be deleted. Don’t worry about it.
