Deleted encrypted shared folder but not files - where are files?

Post by Leifg »

Hi,

Normally I select the option to delete files when deleting shared folder...but I was doing several and missed the selection box and ended up deleting an encrypted folder but apparently not the files (surprised that's allowed actually).

How do I view the files that were in the deleted folder? I actually want them deleted but seems they are still taking space. I recreated the folder and no luck. Files are not in recycle bin either.

Thanks!

not sure if that also works with encrypted folders

recreate the folder and manually point it to the datapath on creation (there is an option in the gui to do that)

Thanks, if it's in the pulldown for manual path it wasn't obvious.

There must be a way to see the ghost files. Maybe I need to ssh into it, but looking for a GUI way since that's how I got here.
