I have a rather odd issue that I have not been able to resolve hoping someone where can shed some light on it and explain what I'm seeing.

I completely empty a share

I go to it setting ins the share tab and the delete checkbox is enabled.

I check the check it and then apply but instead of deleting the share it moved it to this one pool.

I have tried this and any have I remove this happens and it always moves to this one particular pool.

I have tried going into the terminal and deleting the folder but it does NOT work either.

No matter what I do I cannot remove shares from my unraid.

Running 7.1.4

Anyone know how to fix this where I can delete these shares?

Try deleting a share and then post the diagnostics.

what a coincidence, lol

to add here, the logs should complain about this
