Delete Network recycle bin folder

[sorhol]

I earlier had a single disk volume which I have removed. Now I want to remove the "Network recycle bin" folder and I understand this can only be done by editing the "smb.conf" file.

Can someone please confirm I have to delete the whole section shown below in the "smb.conf" file?
[Network Recycle Bin 7]
comment = [Single Disk Volume: Drive 7]
path = /share/HDG_DATA/Network Recycle Bin
browsable = yes
oplocks = yes
ftp write only = no
public = yes
invalid users = "guest"
read list = @"everyone"
write list = "admin"
valid users = "root",@"everyone","admin"
inherit permissions = yes

Thanks in advance,

Yes you are absolutely correct. If you are nervous about it, you could simply prepend each line with a "#" symbol, which will effectively "comment-out" (ie disable) the lines, without actually deleting them. This would make it easy to reinstate later if you felt so inclined.

Code: Select all

Thanks, that helps me too with a similar question in another thread.

Thank you very much Patrick. Will do the update once I get home from work

I can confirm this worked just as expected.

Thx
