Delete Shared Folder

Overview

This function deletes shared folders.

This function can also delete home directories.

This function is used in a Unified Storage environment.

Caution
  • Before deleting the shared folders, all user data and directories in the relevant shared folder must be deleted in advance. Shared folders cannot be deleted if user data or directories exist. Refer to the [Clear NAS Data] function to forcibly delete user data and directories.

  • Shared folders cannot be deleted if they are connected from a client via CIFS (or if client sessions exist).

  • When deleting shared folders, quota setting information assigned to that shared folder is also deleted at the same time.

  • If shared folders are deleted from the NAS user volume where a meta cache redistribution is being performed, the process for this function may be delayed for a maximum of two minutes.
