Too bad, but as i said, the plugin is not easy to use...

click on "search" in the last column and enter the full path of the file you are looking for

like /mnt/cache/domains/Windows

Also, you might check if the Windows Folder still contains a file.

I also have a "ghost" here:

This VM does not exist anymore (actually I have NO VMs here anymore)

but the last Stamp for running was not deleted automatically.

(but I can delete it because no VM service is currently activated)

Anyway, my educated guess would be:

  • you once had a VM named "Windows"

  • some day you have changed the name to "Windows 11 24H2-lts" or something

  • the rename worked mostly but somewhere in the VMs config or image file is still a reference to "Windows"

Besides making you upset, I dont think, it will do any harm, maybe you just can live with it?

Yes.You are right.Because I created a VM named ”Windows“, but unfortunately, there was a space at the end of the folder name, which made it impossible for me to delete it. It's a "ghost" that doesn't affect usage. But it's really annoying, haha

BTW: it would be nice if you could switch your UNRAID to "english" before you take screenshots. My (and I guess a lot of other people here too) chinese is not that fluent, I always have to guess where in the GUI the shot was taken from. Could speed up things and avoid confusion. (you can switch back after the shot)

Too bad~~

but there is a space at the end of "Windows"

so you either have to type 'ls -R "Windows\ "'

or (more easy)

'v -R'

To see the content of the folder

Very bad, I have used this command before. It doesn't work.Yes, in the end, I reinstalled unRaid. Occasionally, when I created a new virtual machine and then deleted it, the deletion still failed (due to filenames without spaces). I had to recreate a virtual machine with the same name and then delete it together. I'm not sure what caused this. Could this be a bug in unRaid?

dunno, you are the first with this kind of problem. so nobody knows

But what you mean with "it does not work"?

hmm, I just see, your path is "/mnt/cache/domains", it should be "/mnt/user/domains".

Take a look at that path, it should be a link to the first and maybe the link is blocking ?

(take a look at you global VM config, some years ago people told you to use "/mnt/cache/domains" as the folder to speed up things, but with the advent of exclusive shares in 6.x this is not true anymore. The path should be (and stay) /mnt/user/domains now. Same is true for Dockers)

I have tried both of these paths, but they are both invalid. "cache" is the name of my pool

Should be /mnt/user/domains and the path will be automatically created if you start up the vm manager...
