yyc321 Posted September 15, 2019 Share Posted September 15, 2019 (edited) I accidentally started copying a few folders to the root, rather than the intended share via SMB. After cancelling the copy, the folders remained, and cannot be deleted. If I try to view the contents of the folder, I get "The operation can’t be completed because the original item for “xxxx” can’t be found." To clarify, I'm now seeing: //TOWER/Share1 //TOWER/Share2 //TOWER/Folder1 <---- Trying to delete this. //TOWER/Folder2 <---- Trying to delete this. Tried deleting the folders in MC, but they don't appear in either the /mnt/user or user0, nor do they appear in any of the disk folders. I figured it was some sort of persistence in the OS where the original copy took place (MacOS), but they also appear when exploring the server from other clients. I'm not super familiar with the underlying unraid file structure. Are these folders being stored somewhere outside the mnt directory? Edited September 15, 2019 by yyc321 Quote Link to comment
JonathanM Posted September 15, 2019 Share Posted September 15, 2019 See if the offending folders are still there following a reboot of the server. Quote Link to comment
yyc321 Posted September 16, 2019 Author Share Posted September 16, 2019 That worked! Thanks Jonathan. I should have tried the simplest solution first. 🙄 Quote Link to comment
trurl Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 Any top level folder on cache or array is automatically a user share, so what you did was accidentally create some new user shares, even though you didn't do so in the webUI. Probably just stopping and starting the array would have worked after you deleted those folders, since that would have restarted the user shares. Or, once all the files were removed from those folders, they could have been deleted in the webUI just like any other user share. Quote Link to comment
