Thanks for the Tips. I was able to see a ~ copy of the file and after several hours of playing with it, I was able to rename and restore the file. I do like your idea of the Recycle plugin and will install that immediately. I also found a few other options in the Unraid Forum including XFS-Undelete though I could not understand exactly how to use it. Again thanks for the response, yours was the only one I received.

I'm an idiot, that said, I somehow managed to delete my 2022 TurboTax file from the folder on my Server. I can't find a "Trash" folder on the Server but it might be hidden. Is there anyway to recover that file? Please Help a poor soul? Archivist

Using 6.9.2 and Dolphin. I'm trying to delete Share (Apple) that has 2 sub-directory files that refuse to delete. What do I need to do to clear them so I can delete the Share?

Thanks Conner, you were correct. I had to remove each Drive from the array individually to have them all show up under the Preclear App. All Drives now being Cleared of Data! Much obliged! I'd forgotten a lot of my programming for Unraid, this Server has been around for ~ 10 years+ from all the way back in the original release version (3 or 4). Dave

Thanks for the info, I've used Community Applications to install Preclear and stopped the array. I've also gone into Tools and tried to set a new config (all disks; yes) but they all still show up in the stopped Array. After that I've tried to invoke Preclear but it won't let me identify the drives. What am I missing? Much obliged for the assisance! Dave

Is it possible to Pre-Clear the Drives while they are still in the Old Server? I've done them externally in the past prior to adding them to a "new" Unraid.

I have an older Server that I'm no longer going to use. It is running 6.8.2 and I would like to make sure nothing can be read and/or retrieved since some of the data could be compromising. I've looked through the system and see where I can start over and even re-format the drives (2 to 5 GB in size) but that is very time consuming, If necessary ok, but is there a "Best Way" to Wipe the Drives similar to the DOD standard for Windows/Mac? Recommendations welcomed! Thanks, Dave

I have a question about changing from Needoplex:latest to Linuxserver's or binhex's repositories. It took a very long time to setup my Plex Server (still w/o PlexPass) and get it to work on my UnRaid Server. If I change to the other repositories, will that mess up my links and access? CA Fix Common Problems recommends this change but I'm not sure of the effect. Suggestions/thoughts welcomed. Thanks

Many Many Thanks! D

Yes, I did thanks, but therein lies the problem! Without your suggested Fix Common Problems first (which I can't find the URL for w/o Community Applications which is not loaded, hence no Apps to Search), I can't clean the system prior to updating to 6.4 or later so the current Community Applications suite will load.

Hey Squid, I have a conundrum (great 2bit word). My Backup Server is running on 6.3.5 but can't update. Reading the posts, I need to install CA-Fix Common Problems to eliminate issues prior to the update. That requires CA-Community Applications, which could not be updated as the OS was too low, so was removed. Without Community Applications, I cannot install Fix Common Problems (duh)! I've searched everywhere for the URL for Fix Common Problems, but everything points back to this thread and Community Applications. HELP! I'm Stuck! Dave (Best Wishes for a Happy 2019 New Year)

Hi Talmania, I use web access vs the Plex webgui in UnRaid to access my Movies, but still had that problem. I also have a drive with less than stellar SMART status, but this was happening before adding it to the Array, so ? Thus far only 1x for me w/the Lockup not 12x ! Hopefully one of our Gurus will see this and figure out what is happening, my Server runs on a Xeon w/20 GB of Ram and twin 250GB of Cache (SSDx2) so I doubt if there is much problem there as well. Dave

Hi Talmania, I concur. After re-booting my server and doing a complete Parity Check (w/o issues), I've concluded that when Plex initiates, it seems to tie up the Server's resources. Interestingly after completing the Parity Check and reinitializing Plex (incl restart), I had to log out of my Webloc link and back in to find the "Server" (still do occasionally). It then seemed to find all of my movies, so apparently Plex continued to work in the background despite locking up regular access (either that or while it was checking Parity). I've subsequently added several more movies to my sub-directory w/o incident. It would be interesting if others are seeing this pattern. Are you using MakeMKV-RDP and if so have you had problems "ripping blu ray discs"? Dave

Too Large for both - Screen shot below:

Sorry Trurl, In a "rush", got called to hospital for a case. I did try to get a log file but it was too big to include. User Shares/diags attached. Parity re-check still in process. My bad, Dave tower-diagnostics-20161218-0539.zip
