ReadyNas 316 | how to delete \data\home\Backup
i cant seem to delete \data\home\Backup on the admin page. nor i can find that folder on the mac Finder

The folder has been deleted now.
Once the balance I am running has completed please run another from the UI, by oging to System > Volumes, selecting the volume and choosing balance.
Once that is done, I would run a defrag.
Best not to fill the volume to more than 80-85%.
I would recommend scheduling a balance every few weeks or so. I would also schedule a defrag.

Do you have a user called Backup?
That is a private home share.

O.K.
Turns out that was not a home folder. Your data volume being so full could have been a factor.
