RN31400 NAS / Removing Cloud Users
Since the Readycloud is no more, how do I / we remove the read cloud users from our account?

Judging by the way ReadyCloud shutdown is being handled, I doubt we'll get a solution to removing cloud users from Netgear.
Is there a command line method we could use vis SSH, or do I need to reinstall the OS and start from scratch )or simply ignore those user accounts)?

An OS reinstall won't change anything, you'd actually need to do a factory default.
You can safely delete the account from Linux, but it still shows up in the web ui.
I don't know how to safely remove it from there. If I have a chance, I might play around with it more. There is a file in /opt/readycloud/etc/local_sessions that has the cloud user name, but that is protected with acl.
FWIW, there is also no way to leave ReadyCloud.

Hard to say - 6.10.10 (when and if) might remove the service from the NAS.
