Delete corrupt playlist subfolder on RN10400

Hi All.  Something bugging me and want to sort it out.

I have a ReadyNAS 104 and I want to delete a subfolder of the systems folder called "ReadyNAS_104\Music\Playlists".

I can see it in Windows Explorer, but there are no options to Delete. When I right click the corrupt playlist (sub)folder I wish to delete, I get the following options only:

"Open"

"Open in new window"

"Pin to Quick Access"

"Copy"

"Create shortcut"

 

I have explored the NAS Dashboard by logging in as ADMIN, but with this I cannot even SEE the Playlists folder.

 

Any help on solving this is much appreciated.  It's driving me nuts!

 

  • Success!!  Thank you!

     

    IN Windows File Explorer, selected "NAS_VALLEYSIDE" under "Network".  Searched for word "Cypress" and it found them.  From here the DELETE option is available.

     

    I will now run a re-scan just to finish off.  If totally good will mark as an Accepted Solution.

     

    Thanks for your time.

    Hi MARKEYBOY,

     

    Does this sub-folder visible in the 'Share' tab in the admin page? Maybe resetting the permission of the 'ReadyNAS_104\Music\Playlists' will help you delete this sub-folder on your PC via Windows File Explorer.

     

     

    Kind regards,

      Hi.  There are no folders whatsoever visible on the Share called 'Music'.  If there were, I'm sure I could achieve my goal.

       

      So, any expert advice how to access 'ReadyNAS_104\Music\Playlists' through the Admin Page would be most appreciated.   This is bugging me!  :(

        Hi MARKEYBOY,

         

        If it's not seen in the admin page, I suspect that this is a a cache on your PC. Could you post a screenshot so we can confirm?

         

         

        Kind regards,
