Home Share Visable (While Disabled) and Strange 'data' Share

First Issue: Within my windows network I see all my shares ok on the NAS with the exception of two strange shares that I have not created. It is called 'data' & 'home'. I will get to the 'home' issue next. On a Windows Explorer window I locate the ReadyNAS entry and drill down and list all my shares I have created. Within that list there is a share called 'data' which actually lists all the shares on the ReadyNAS (even hidden ones). In addition I notice some other folders called: ._share, .apps, .purge, .timemachine, .vault. How do I remove this share from being visible or being incorrectly shown.

These do exist, and are visible to the NAS admin account. If you don't want to see them, then use a different username. Don't attempt to remove this stuff.

Second Issue: I have Home folders disabled. Within the Home Folders settings page I have all the protocols Off (SMB, NFS, AFP, FTP, DLNA) and the status is listed as 'Disabled'. For some reason it is a bit like the First Issue. Within my Windows Explorer window I have my listing of shares, however, even tho I have Home Folder settings disabled I can still see the 'home' share. And within that share I still see another directory 'admin' with nothing in it. I try to delete the 'admin' folder however it just returns.

If you use the right credentials, you won't see home. If you create a new user is a new share created?
