November 18, 2025Nov 18 Hi,I created a share specifically for use with Proxmox Backup Server and tried to use it with the PBS residing on the Proxmox Server itself. Could NOT get it to work properly so I moved my PBS to bare metal. But the problem now is, no matter what I tried i am unable to remove the folder I created in Unraid for the PBS server.Can you please help with how to go about this?I already tried rm -rf /dir and many other command on different Linux based forums but to no success.Note, when I issue the command rm -rf /dir it just sits there. I sometimes left it running for hours on end and still nothing it just sits there.Many thanks in advance

I blanked out the rest as there is no reference to this folder, but my other folders which has personal info in them.

I spent days trying to delete this folder and I cant believe how simple it was in the end. Almost feels stupid lol.For anyone else who ends up on this thread, the command that worked as pointed out by JorgeB was:zfs destroy disk1/Backup-PBS02
