January 8, 20215 yr I know this has been posted a bunch of times and I read a some threads before posting however I'm not an expert when it comes to Unraid and don't want to mess anything up. I have been using Unraid for years with user shares turned off and just accessed the disks directly. So there have not been any folders created by Unraid. Today I decided to turn on user shares to combine all my MOVIE folders into one share for Plex. After enabling user shares it created these 3 folders on disk6: system ---> libvirt ---> libvirt.img isos ---> empty domains ---> empty Do I need any of these folders or is it safe to delete them? I am not using any VM's or dockers if that matters. I also do not have a cache drive. My setup is pretty much as basic as it gets with no plugins installed and mostly everything is on the default settings. If I must keep these folders that is fine however is it OK to move them to a folder not in the user share? I have 7 disks on my array but only allow disk1 to disk6 on the user share. I excluded disk 7 because that is for backup files versus media so if I need to keep these newly created folders I would prefer to have them in disk7. However since that share is excluded from the shares I didn't know if that would mess things up. If possible I would just prefer to delete them if I don't need them. Thanks in advance.

January 8, 20215 yr I'm no expert, but I would recommend leaving those "shares" as they are (mostly empty), until you achieve what you're trying to do with Plex. 6.
January 8, 20215 yr Author The Plex part is done. I just had to point it to a new location. Instead of pointing to each individual disk now it just points to a user share tower/MOVIES. The three folders I am asking about (system / isos / domains) only show up under disk6 and were generated when I enabled user shares.

So I went into the VMS setting and changed Enable VMs to "NO" and the tab is gone. I still have the 3 newly created folder though in disk6 which I was hoping I could delete without causing any issues but was hoping someone could let me know if they are necessary or not.

January 9, 20215 yr You can safely delete them. They were created to support VM's and docker containers.
