Can't delete Plex application on ReadyNAS 214
I have a ReadyNAS 214 running FW 6.10.10 and previously 6.10.9, and on both firmwares, I can't seem to uninstall the only application of the device which is Plex Media Server (for RN2xx)
Whether I select remove or toggle it off, I get the same message and it stays there forever: 'Removing Application this may take a while...'
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
- I’m not too concerned about uninstalling it from the interface if there is a way to uninstall it from SSH. Is there any documentation or do you know the commands to uninstall that package?
Edit: This solution seems to have worked for me but you must SSH as root@yournas and use the admin password that you set. The app is no longer visible on the frontend interface.
apt remove '^plex.*$'

You could try ssh.
- I can login with SSH. Then what? Ok afraid to delete the wrong thing and brick the NAS. There an apps folder with the Plex file. But there’s also a file that says DO NO DELETE. Any assistance would be appreciated. Thanks.
Did you disable it before you tried to uninstall?
You don't just delete files from SSH, you have to use apt-get. You should start by downloading the logs zip file and look especially in apt-history.log and see if it gives any hints as to the problem.
