November 19, 20223 yr I'm trying to clean up my server by deleting duplicate files. I wanted to use Krusader to that I could compare files in different folders to delete the duplicates. I can delete small files, non-video files. However, when I try to delete video files nothing happens. I tried to delete the files using share access through Windows but I get an error stating: "You require permission from SERVERNAME/nobody to make changes to this folder." What am I doing wrong? How can I get permissions corrected so I can delete the unwanted files? Thanks!
November 19, 20223 yr I've been having similar permissions issues but with files in specific folders. Not a real solution to your problem but a temp solution could be to use the "rm" command in the terminal of your server? Edited November 19, 20223 yr by Shu

I was really hoping to be able to make the deletions using a graphic interface so that I could compare the contents of the two directories and identify the duplicate files. However, I may have to resort to the rm command if there isn't a better solution. Edited November 21, 20223 yr by rockbox948 grammar
November 21, 20223 yr Community Expert Run the new permissions tool on that share to see if it helps.
November 30, 20223 yr Author @JorgeB Thanks. I will run it and report back when I have an opportunity to do so.
