I moved my shares to the array to replace the cache disk. once that was done, I changed the shares to cache prefer but they still show as parity protected. how do I fix that? https://imgur.com/a/RFpAVvo

 

I have manually checked and there are no files or folders from those shares on the array. even tried moving data to the shares and then back again but nothing changed.

You have a cache pool so all shares will be shown as protected, despite current cache pool not being redundant, Unraid currently doesn't check for that, if there's a pool it assumes it's using the default raid1 profile.
