Whole folder deleted

  • Quick question.
    I've added a folder to shares and realised I linked the wrong folder on an external drive. So I deleted it under shares, and the whole folder disappeared on the drive. Yikes! I had to use Recuva to get it back - lucky for me I saw the issue and unplugged the disk before the space were overwritten and got back around 180G of data.


    Now my question, How do I just delete the shared folder on OMV and not the actual folder and contents on the drive as well. I honestly thought that only a the "link" will be deleted?

    You need to read the message when deleting a shared folder. It clearly explains which option will delete files and which will only delete the shared folder. It even asks you twice if you choose the option that will delete files.
