Unable to delete Folder in File Station 5
I created a folder that I now want to delete but am unable to do so. It appears in QNAP File Station 5 (and Windows 10 Explorer) as a folder but does not appear as a shared folder. I am unable to delete it or edit its properties to do so. Suggestions are welcome. Thank you.

Us amateurs would call it a Shared Folder.
If it is, go to Control Panel, Shared Folder, check the box next to the shared folder, and click "Remove"

Re: Unable to delete Folder in File Station 5
Op said "folder" when I asked.. so why would you think it's a share then ?

Because the only time that I had the same problem was when I tried to removed a folder with Windows Explorer forgetting that it was shared folder.

Re: Unable to delete Folder in File Station 5
I am having the same problem.
Using Admin login, I created a shared folder under my RAID volume root (ie on same level as HOME etc. File Station 5 should allow me to right click on the folder then hit delete.
No offering to DELETE is available.
If I create a folder under a USER it works this way.
What am I failing to understand?

Re: Unable to delete Folder in File Station 5

file station should be used only occasionally...it's just not how you interact with a nas

Re: Unable to delete Folder in File Station 5
The File Station app sends the files to Recycling Bin folder, where they get deleted 180 days later (by default). You can configure this behavior in the control panel. Or actually delete them all right away. From the Control Panel.

Re: Unable to delete Folder in File Station 5
OP was complaining about the inability to delete folders..nothing to do with the recycle bin

Re: Unable to delete Folder in File Station 5
I'm also having trouble deleting folders shared with File Station 5.
How do I delete two shared folders on the same volume?
Thank you
