Can't get rid of "webroot" share.

I initially installed Cacti addon, which created webroot share.

Cacti was eventually removed, readynas was updated to 4.2.18, etc...

But I still see the share "webroot" when I try to browse the readynas over network.

Now, "webroot" share doesn't exist in share listing.
Creating and deleting the "webroot" share doesn't solve the issue.
Creating, renaming, deleting also doesn't solve this annoyance,

Any suggestions?

    Since Cacti is a third-party addon, you may want to contact the author about the problem.
  • I don't have a solution, but just for clarification for ewok and anyone else who might:

    webroot is created by a lot of add-ons (or maybe by PHP, since my add-ons require that). I still have active add-ons that use it and have never had Cacti. The problem is that it's created in a way such that FrontView doesn't know it exists yet it is visible to the outside world (at least in Windows). Since Frontview is unaware of it's existence, you can't just go into FrontView and delete it or check Hide this share when a user browses the ReadyNAS for available shares.

    While I need the webroot share, I would like to hide it. The OP would like to delete it. So is there a way to make Frontview aware of this share so as to modify its properties via FrontView?
