Can't Delete Folder

Featured Replies

I'm not sure why people are referring to OSX, I'm using a PC Windows 7. So all that makes no sense to me. I tried the remove all in the directory, same result. I'll try setting new permissions, not sure how, but I'll look it up.

 

Sorry my brain was thinking OSX from another post.

But the concept should be the same.

If you do a  "ls -la" on the directory/folder in telnet you should see a list of files with the extensions.

This was my first result from google so I'll write solution:

 

If you can't delete a folder or file but you can rename it (my case) most likely it's a permissions problem.

 

Just run 'New Permission tool'

 

Tools -> New Permission

Unlike the screenshot above, you should not run New Permissions on All shares and disks. Only run it on specific shares, no need to run it on disks at all, and you should avoid running it on appdata.

screenshot fixed

appdata is exactly where I had a lot of problems suddenly.

 

 

Not entirely sure why.

Updated to the latest unraid over a month while problems started just a day ago without any reason.

 

Anyway. New permission solved the problems that really shouldn't happen in a first place

 

There must be ongoing bug in the unraid cause internet is absolutely full of posts describing exactly the same problem as mine was.... since 2015

Most of the time some application is creating files with these wrong permissions. Figure out what is creating files with the wrong permissions, and fix that, or it will do it again. Often an application such as a docker will have settings like umask

 

Also, if you manipulate files at the command line as root user you need to make sure owner and permissions are correct.

It was a weird one.
Affected files and folder where in all sort of folders.

appdata, disk1, disk2, shares for arr's as well as in the shares that absolutely no one have any access
