Buffalo Forums

Hello,

i have a problem with a long path in trashbox:

/array1/backup_dc/trashbox/Daten/a/q/a/b/c/d/e/c/b

The path down from "Daten" /a/q/a/b/c/d/e/c/b was created at 1o'clock at night as admin user.

I'm sure that nobody from our company has done this and i'm not sure who did this. Anyway, how can

i delete it, because i tried to do it by FTP, but it doesn't work.

Regards,

Stefan

If you cant delete it through windows you may to delete the whole share folder through the interface of the unit. 

To delete a shared folder is not an option for me, but i solved the problem.

The last 2 folder contain a file called ".autoreg" that was hidden. I have used

a FTP software that showes hidden files and delete the ".autoreg" first, after

that it was possible to delete everything.

Is this file ".autoreg" from Buffalo?
