October 4, 20241 yr Problem: Deleting/Removing a share is super simple and where you'd expect it to be right now. There is just one catch: You have to know that the share must be empty (as in completely empty) and you have to know that otherwise the delete-option is just invisible. Every time I wanted to delete a share (not something you do very often) I had to google "how to delete a share in unraid", then find many others posting the same question, to then find out that it has to be empty. Then I have to enable finder to show "hidden files", delete all things, then come back to the share settings and delete the share. It's such a simple task that's surprisingly unintuitive even if you look in the right spot in the beginning. Suggestion/Solution: Have the "delete share" checkbox on the share-settings-page be visible all the time but disabled with a little text saying "the share has to be empty to be deleted". Ideally there could even be a little text link saying "delete all files on share how" or something on the like, as sometimes deleting files over the network is not so reliable/takes a longer time than if it were done locally via the web UI.
