readynas 31400 hdd access when idle

good morning everyone

 

i have noticed over the last several weeks my rn31400 is making access noises when not in use/idle

 

every minute or so it makes a sound like its accessing the hard disks when nothings going on

 

i have no file indexing enabled , no virus checker , snapshots are set to weekly , no apps activated ( apart from a app that i cannot  remove , but its turned to 'off ' )  , logs are not saying anything when i check after the access noises

 

could it be the app that cant be removed causing issues or something else?

 

if anyone can throw me some suggestions id be greatful!

 

thanks!

        im not quite sure how to read the graphs but volume throughput/operations per second are in the minus , i can see a bit of network usage but no idea why as nothing should be accessing it

         

        the app i cannot remove is the utorrent app , i try and uninstall it says uninstall failed

        doesnt show on the main page that its running but on the apps page its still there with a broken image logo
