Terastation won't delete files?
« on: December 07, 2008, 10:51:01 PM »
   

Hello,

 

I'm running a Terastation, which keeps telling me that it's full. However, whenever I delete files, they disappear from Windows Explorer but the drive stays full. I've deleted gigs and gigs, but it still tells me there's only 20kb spare.

 

What am I doing wrong? Is there a hidden recycle bin somewhere? I'm very confused!

 

Thanks,

 

Chris

   Do you happen to have the trashbox option selected?

   Erm, I'm not sure. Where would I find the trashbox option? Is it in the NAS Navigator program somewhere?

You have to login to the web interface then select share folder set up.  When you select the share folder in question you can then disable or enable the trash box.

Hi,

I've seen this answer twice in the forums here, but it doesn't work for me.  I am running WinXP, Linkstation Pro Duo in Raid 1.  I deleted about 100 gigs of info; however, it still says my Linkstation is full.  I have disabled the trash box.  Is there something else I'm missing?

Thanks,

Amy
