    Please try these steps:

    Removal via ReadyNAS OS integrated share browser (Firmware 6.0.0 and above):

    (a) Browse to the following URL in your preferred browser, replacing [ReadyNAS] with the IP address or hostname of your ReadyNAS and replacing [volume] with your volume name (default “data”)
    Note: Do not include the brackets []. These are included for visibility.

    https://[ReadyNAS]/admin/browse.html#path=%2F[volume]%2F.timemachine


    (b) If prompted for login use your normal web interface credentials


    2c) Select the appropriate sparse bundle and click the “Delete” button


    Welcome to the forum!
  • Thanks very much for the welcome and the solution.

    I found that if I entered the address correctly that you suggested that it actually worked!

    It is amazing what can happen if you pay attention. :hammer:
