August 23, 20241 yr So I had a share, long ago called "Other." About 3 years ago I moved all my data into a single share called "media." So now my data sits like: media\movies media\tv shows etc. It used to be individual shares like Movies TV Shows Other Anyways, I can delete Other. It usually appears randomly on a disk. I find the folder always with 1 folder in it, Applications (a place I used to store software/isos or whatever for my PC). Then, it comes back a few days later like clockwork. How do I determine what is causing this to come back? As far as I know I have no backups happening of that "share" and there is never files in the share when it re-appears. I also do not have a Dataset created with that name (some of my pool is ZFS). It doesn't harm anything, but it's annoying that I can't track down what keeps making this. For example, today it appeared on: disk3. No data sets, but the Share "Other" is back with an empty folder "Applications" inside.

I have no mappings to that location in dockers. I also checked a few apps to see if I had something linked there, like sabnzb. I do not. I also verified backup plugins and nothing is pointing to it.
August 23, 20241 yr Author would the creation of that share be in my logs somewhere? As in, if I delete the share, and check daily until it shows backup would it show what made it somewhere in the logs?

No. Does the content of that share not give a clue as to what might be creating it?
August 26, 20241 yr Author no clue. It just creates an empty folder that was where I stored software, which makes it even more cryptic as that location had no automation in it (as in tools were not pointing towards it at all.
