ReadyNAS 104 - Cannot delete/move some files, even as Admin #26331978
Hi,
I have the ReadyNas104 with firmware version 6.4.1

Hello Benrb8157,
Welcome to the community!
Can you try please resetting permission on that share and see if that helps?
See How do I restore default file and shared folder access rights on my ReadyNAS OS 6 storage system?

Thanks for the reply JennC but I'm struggling....
I say this because, following the steps through, I click on 'Shares' and see the following - When I click 'Shares'
Clicking on the folder in question ('Home Folders') redirects me to the 'Browse' tab.
Instead there is a cog/settings icon to the right which I can click - Cog icon
The popup that opens is very different to the guide you referenced. There is no 'reset' option, just two tabs at the top, 'Snapshots' & 'Access' - Here's the popup in question
Logically I thought maybe there'd be something under 'Access' but I was wrong - The 'Access' options
The 'reset' option IS available for all the other folders when I click the settings opton for them, just not for this one. Is that normal? - For example, the 'reset' option IS available for the 'Films' shared folder
Cheers

Hello Benr8157,
Oh, I didn't realize you were talking about the home shares. It doesn't have that option.
What's the authentication mode of the NAS? Is this integrated to AD?

Thanks for helping me with this JennC...
If I click on Accounts then Authentication it shows the type as 'Local Users' and not 'Active Directory' - Authentication...
I can't understand why there is a difference between certain folders in this share.
For example this folder has the full range of options available but this folder doesn't.
I can edit/rename/delete the first one to my hearts content, but the other I can't.
It doesn't seem to be the permissions for the share in general, just a few select folders within it.
Hopefully I'm making sense?
Cheers
