ReadyNAS102 - /root permissions and delete

Hi,

I have got some data in an app folder that is only visible via a ssh program. The one I'm using is called WinSCP and can get to it and see/download the files. But can't delete the files. Says access denide but in using the default admin credentials. The files and folders are not part of the gui/explorer folder structure otherwise I would have removed them from there! I don't want to have to wipe the drive to clear these files so if anyone knows a way then I would be very greatful

      What happens if you login as root not admin? The root password is set to the same password that the admin user has.
