Where would I locate the setting for the Recycle bin?

Well do you have such folder on any of shares?

Setting itself is located in Frontview: Shares -> Share Listing -> CIFS Settings (icon) and then scroll down.

Thanks I never knew that setting was there. No I don't have Recycle Bin enabled on any shares

I also don't have any Macs accessing the NAS

I do have one private home share using 216 GB of space

One option is to install SSH and start looking folder by folder within linux.

You can do the same thing from Windows by access \\nasname\c with username=admin, pass=nas password. It will be slower, since you are gathering all the data over the network, but it will work.

Thanks for your help. Please provide more detail as to how to access the server via SSH. I have downloaded putty, what do I have to do on the server end to enable access?

Install the x86 add-on here: http://www.readynas.com/?p=4203
logon will be root, password is the admin password of the NAS.

OK here is what I get

OK I reran it and it worked...apparently there is & TB in the "Home" folder but I have no share by that name... could that be where the home shares for individual users are? if so how do I disable or delete?

Yes, the "home" folder holds all the user home shares.

You can see them from ssh, you can also access the NAS using Windows File Sharing using the NAS admin account credentials.

Do you want to disable the home shares completely? Or just clean up old data?
