I cannot delete the .AppleDB folder as permission is denied, even in FTP as admin
I have a ReadyNAS 104. For years now, I have not been able to delete half of the littered Apple AFP folders and files that spread themselves across my shares from when I also had a MAC on my network...

Yes, logh in with ssh as root (admin password) and nuke them!

This works! :)
This will delete all the Apple crud:-
find . -name "_*" -type f -delete
This will remove the Apple crud directories in question:-
rm -rd .AppleDB
Thanks for the pointer :)
