If so what are they? It's also possible there are "hidden" files in there. When you browse the share via webGui do any files show up in there?
June 25, 201511 yr Author the folders show up with files from plex directories and some xls files the response to deleting attempts ranges from not having permission to error -36 to some data can not be read or written
June 25, 201511 yr Author I have enabled finder to show all hidden files but that has had no effect I have tried every trick i can think of from modifying the name of the share to forcing a change in the file type no luck however
June 25, 201511 yr Author thats just it I don't have plex installed I uninstalled it so its not running
June 26, 201511 yr You can drop to command line and see what's happening. For example if "media" is the share name you can type: ls -la /mnt/user/media What does that show?
June 26, 201511 yr Author root@Tower:~# ls -la /mnt/user/1 total 0 drwxrwxrwx 1 nobody users 96 Jun 25 14:36 ./ drwxrwxrwx 1 nobody users 216 Jun 25 14:17 ../ drwxrwxrwx 1 nobody users 88 Jun 25 02:04 Plex/ drwxrwxrwx 1 nobody users 96 Jun 25 14:07 aa/
June 26, 201511 yr The name of your share is '1'? That's a little strange; guess it should work. You can delete all those files: rm -r /mnt/user/1/* But be careful with that 'rm -r' command. Now that I think of it, you're probably better off using 'mc'.
June 26, 201511 yr Author that comment made me laugh no that wasn't the original name of the folder as i said i was renaming it to try and get it removed and i just named it something simple as i had changed it about 100 times all the same that worked thank you so much for the help
