Hi,

 

I have a couple files and folders on my server that I can't get to delete using Windows SMB. I get the usual prompt warning me that the file will be permanently deleted, I hit "Yes", then nothing happens. I do have the Recycle Bin app installed. I stopped it and tried again, but it still doesn't work.

 

1. For one of the folders I can't delete, I browsed through the share using Unraid's WebGUI and there I can see a file that I couldn't see on the SMB, and said file name starts with "._.blabla". Could it have something to do with it? I can't see that file in Windows' file browser even when showing hidden files.
2. For other folders, I get the following error : "You require permission from MICRO-ONDES\marcandre to make changes to this folder" when trying to delete it from Windows' browser.

 

Please help.

 

System diagnostics attached.

File names that begin with a 'dot' are hidden files in most operating systems ---  including Linux and Windows.  There can be a variety of reasons that the originator has choose to make them so.  Caution is urged before you willy-nilly delete them!

This seems to indicate that the Owner/Group variables are incorrect for you to be able to delete these files.  You can probably fix this by running   TOOLS   >>>  New Permissions  on just the directories with the problem files/directories in.  For a more permanent solution, you will have to figure which Docker/VM is creating these files/directories and change the owner, group and permissions there.  (Unraid expects to find nobody/users with permissions of 666 for file and 777 for directories.   The users group is usually required for SMB to work properly!)
