This worked for me, now I can see the list, but how delete the folder? I assume rm will not work?

I don't use time machine, but I suspect the folder is actually a btrfs subvolume - if so, rm won't delete it. Try running
# btrfs subvolume list /data
from ssh, and see if it is in the subvolume list. data is the default OS-6 volume name, if you are using flexraid you'll need to substitute your actual volume name.
This doesn't actually work on my terminal....says command not found...?
btrfs subvolume list /data
