How Force Delete A Folder & Disk Temp Issue

Featured Replies

This is strange...

I had subsonic on my flash drive when running 5.0.6, which i never did end up using. When I upgraded to 6.0.0 ( I did not copy any of the contents from the old flash to the new one) I did a FRESH INSTALL of UnRAID 6.0 ...

However, one of my disk shares disk11 has a subsonic folder on the root of the disk, not sure why it created it.

When I access the share and try to delete it, because I don't need it at all, it says you need permission to perform this action, yet I am logged in as root or admin and I can not remove it. Is there a simple way to get rid of this folder and the contents of it, from the GUI / Client or Console ?

 

Thanks :)

 

Also on a side note, I just noticed that when a disk is spun up and active, it doesn't seem to display or show the temp of the active disks anymore, just shows a *

my cache disk is the only one that seems to be showing a temp at the moment

Login as root and enter "rm -rf /mnt/disk11/folder-name"

I tried that and it successfully deleted the folder, however upon reboot the folder re-appears, not sure why

Go to the Shares page and click on that user share, then check the box and delete it.

Where is the check box to delete a user share?

I think it only appears if the share is empty.    When you go to the Share settings page what does unRAID say against the "Share Empty?" entry.

OK thanks I seen what you mean its not empty so i don't get the option to delete, When I look at an empty share I have the option to delete

 

The other problem is I cant delete the contents of the share, it used to say I didn't have permission but now after running new permissions I right click the folder then delete and nothing happens?

 

Any ideas?

Turn off User shares and try again. Or reboot in maintenance mode and try again.

Turned off user shares still cant delete folder  reboot in maintenance mode but disks are not mounted in that mode so cant access the drives

There must be some 'dot' files in there (hidden).  You can view like this:

 

ls -la /mnt/disk11/subsonic

In 6.1-rc2 you can configure to show dot files.  With this enabled you should be able to delete all files via Network.

 

You can get rid of the directory using this:

 

rm -r /mnt/disk11/subsonic

or whatever it created.  Be careful with that - the "-r" option is like a machine gun with no safety  ;)

 

Thanks for the reply

 

Could I get a little more instruction on how to use that code i'm a bit of a N00B

 

I tried putty and the first code but I get "cannot access /mnt/disk11/subsonic: no such file or directory"

 

Its ok i think i've just figured it out or i've just killed it

Is this right?

 

I replaced disk11 with the correct disc numberer then subsonic with the folder name

 

It would seam to have solved the problem

 

Thanks to everyone who offered advise  8)

I am still trying to solve the problem, was interesting to see someone else had the same issue with subsonic :-/

Have you tried that? I had a similar problem and couldn't delete a folder, I used the above but changed it to suit my disk and folder

Does this "machine gun" approach (rm -r ...)  maintain parity ??

Any operation done on the /mnt/disk? or /mnt/user or /dev/md? locations or devices maintains parity.

Thanks.  I assumed as much, but just wanted to confirm.

Yes I have the same issue. Subsonic I installed some time ago, but cannot get rid of the DIR. If or when I do, on reboot it re-appears. I will attempt again when I can
