backup permission?

So I have a backup job which goes to my pc and backs up all of my iTunes music.  As it gets written to my readynas pro6 (running 4.2.27), the owner of the folder becomes 'nobody'- whoever that is!?  Anyway, now I simply want to go into my pro6 via windows explorer and delete a folder, but I'm getting "access denied". 

 

Can someone remind me how best to accomplish this task of deleting a folder that backup created?

 

Thanks

    Hi stgeorge,

     

    Follow the instructions here or simply reset the permission of the said share by selecting "Set ownership and permission for existing files and folders in this share to the above settings" then apply.

     

    Hope this helps!

     

     

    Kind regards,
