[SOLVED] Opening/deleting a specific folder crashes file manager

[pwn4fun]

Hello Everyone,

 

I have a slight problem with a folder that is locked.  It is an old appdata folder for "hydra2".  Long story short, I removed the docker and used "Cleanup Appdata" after the removal was finished.  It seemed to be taking a very long time so I let it run for a while, (2 days).  At this point it said it was finished but when browsing to the appdata folder it was still there.  Everything inside the folder deleted except for the "logs" folder.  Trying to delete this folder crashed file explorer on my Win 10 machine.  Next I tried the "binhex-krusader" container that also crashed.  Can not open the folder or delete it, as any system attempting it hangs almost immediately.

 

Folder is located in its own share with nothing else in it.

Size of folder is determined to be about 9.20 GB.

 

Any help on how to delete would be appreciated.

Tried using the console command.

rm -r /mnt/user/DeleteMePlease/hydra2/logs/*

To no avail, as this crashed the server.

 

After that was...

rm -r /mnt/user/DeleteMePlease/hydra2/*

Also crashed the server.

 

Finally

rm -r /mnt/user/DeleteMePlease/*

No idea why but the last one worked while all the others caused the system to hang.

If anybody knows why I would love to learn why that would happen.

There is a fair chance there is file system corruption involved.
