Can't delete a folder due to "You require permission from TOWER\nobody to make changes to this file"

Featured Replies

EDIT: I was able to fix this by running a Tools > New Permissions job on the share. This topic can be considered resolved.

 

Hi,

 

I am unable to modify/delete a single folder from within my share because of the permission error I specified in the post title.

 

Upon further inspection, it looks like this folder, unlike others in the same directory, has a user "nobody (TOWER\nobody)" with Full control of this folder, whereas my standard user nost (part of "users (Unix Group\users)") only has Read & execute permissions.) In other folders my nost user has Full Control of the folders, not just Read & execute.

 

I need to gain access of this folder back to modify/delete it as I see fit.

 

The only anomaly that I can see that makes this folder different from others (which I still have full control of) is presence of a "desktop.ini" file with following contents:

I have no idea what program created this file.

 

Things I've tried:

 

* Rebooting Windows/reconnecting the share in Windows Explorer

* Rebooting the server and restarting the array

* changing the username of my unRAID share user to not match the username of my windows user and re-connecting to the drive using the new credentials

* trying to delete the folder from another operating system (macOS)
