After Removing all snapshots, can't access shares

I recently noticed that my Nas was full despite regularly deleting data to make space. I discovered that the snapshot were taking up all the space, i consiquently deleted all the snapshots but the assosiated folder is now gone. I can see the NAS still shows the data is on the NAS but i cannot seem to access if for windows or the interface page.

  • You definitely would have got a popup which asked for you to type something to confirm you wanted to delete the share. This is a safeguard against accidental deletion of shares.

    Can you send in your logs (see the Sending Logs link in my sig). Mention the name of the relevant share in your email.

        Your logs show that after you deleted the snapshots you deleted the share as well.
