How to deleter a user share

How do I deleter a user share in unraid 6? 

 

When I clear the share name and try to apply, I get a message back saying please enter a share name, so I cannot do it?

Does unRAID indicate the share is empty?

 

Go to the page for the share. If Share empty? Yes, then there will be a Delete checkbox. Check it and Apply.

 

If it is not empty, you will have to delete its contents.

You are correct it lists "share empty" as no.

 

When I try to access the user share or the folders on each drive from my windows PC, I get an error that I don't have permission to access.  I can access my other shares and delete files just fine.

 

How do I delete the contents so I can deleter the share?

Ssh or telnet to unraid. Open midnight commander (type Mc and hit enter). Navigate to the folder and hit F8 to delete it.

When I type Mc from root@Tower: #, it says command not found

Should be mc, all lower case

Ok that worked to load midnight commander, but the telnet window is extremely small and most of the screen is unrecognizable characters.

How are you telnetting? If puTTY then you can maximize the window, and set the translation to UTF-8.

 

Is it really most of the screen, or just the "border characters". You can ignore them.

 

You can also run mc from console.

 

If you can't figure out mc, then tell us the name of the user share, and post the result of

v /mnt/user

I'm using telnet in from command/dos prompt in windows 7.

 

My user share is called 'mysql'

 

When I run v /mnt/user then it lists all my user shares, including mysql/

Run the New Permissions on the Tools tab then you'll be able to delete the directories from your Windows machine. Once you delete all the directories on every drive go to \\TOWER\flash\config\shares and delete the cfg file with the share name too. Start and stop the array and all traces of the share will be gone.

Check out PuTTY on the Telnet wiki page.  Also, there's a note there about configuring PuTTY, if you see all the little a's with hats.  PuTTY is much better, allows more keys, and uses color and highlighting, supports cut-and-paste.

After running the permissions script on each drive, I was able to deleter the folders and get rid of the user share, thank you!

 

I will check out Putty for future use, thank you too!
